Did three aluminum ones in less than a week with just an air chisel to remove the heads of the thousands of rivets. There's a few iron braces that need torching.

Once the heads of the rivets have been sheared off secure a chain to one corner with the other end onto your truck and give the trailer a few shakes. It soon falls to the ground.

took me about 24 hrs to do a 40ft tractor trailer by myself in roughly 4 loads

I used a 6 inch angle grinder to cut it up in pieces n about 10 cutoff wheels matabo for the win
