I see I’m a little late. Hopefully he hasn’t given up on it yet.
Bought a bin about the same size last year. 7 foot diameter 2 ring chore time brand cone bin. Which by the OP’s description his bin is a 6 foot 2 ring which is much shorter.
It was brought in laying down on a flat bed trailer. We slid it to the back of the trailer and 4 guys grabbed it and set it up right. The supplier said they don’t use cranes or booms to set them unless they are 9 foot or larger diameter.
To lay it down I think I would want 5 or 6 guys. Those bins aren’t really heavy. They are rigid enough they won’t collapse laying on their side like some have suggested.
