We did it years ago with a 20 foot pintle hook trailer.
It was an old wooden corn crib.
Had to take the roof off of it..
 
Sitting on there it looks like an oddly
designed stock trailer, fits on there
nice.
If she thinks your off the deep end maybe
thats your home for tonight lol.
 
looks good, I wanted move and reseal an
18' bin a few years ago so I took it down
to the top ring and roof and put a couple
of 18' 2*12's that I had across the center
of my 20' deckover trailer. Went about a
quarter of a mile backed on the pad lifted
the bin up and pulled away.
 
Looks like the crib is on skids with no place to run a drag line. Could the wife be worried about how much extra hand shoveling you will have to fill and empty the crib every year? Are there foot doors along the hidden side?
 
I scrapped one of those a few years ago.... they are heavy. We had moved it for a family member several years before, similar to what you
are doing.

My uncle found it not much good for ear corn. It didn't have the air flow a wire crib or wooden crib does.
 
We had a chance to get one of those at auction last year. Was fully disassembled.

We didn't really have a use for it so it naturally went higher than we were willing to bid.
 
Years ago hauled a 20 ft long crib like that on a 16 foot flat hay wagon with crib laying on its side. Was a 40 some mile trip. A lot of floor was rusted away more than I thought. Took apart and stored for several years. Then I made a standard flooe out of wood and set it on. Was going to use for ear corn so made it set high enough for a grain drag to go under a partly removeable floor at eash end at the door. And no they do not have any side doors. Never got to use for corn as had quit picking ear corn by that time. It turned into a stove wood shed. and was just torn downin last couple of years after I lost the farm. We had round cribs with that same perferation in the sides and no problem with air movement in them to make the corn spoil, if it was they were picking it before it was time to pick.
