Hi, Just wondering how you guys put your chippers to bed at night....in a shipping container.

I am soon to be moving yards and i am concerned with the weight issue!

Moving my machine up a slight incline is a back breaker....i was thinking of mounting a small electic winch onto the chipper, has anyone done this?

is it effective? and does anyone have any better ideas?

The machine is a Jensen 528 at about 1100kg.

its easier than you think, with ours you have to reverse it in as if youre reversing round a corner, so you can see the chipper in a mirror, i do it on a daily basis with wither a transit,7.5tonner, or 18 tonner hiab lorry. aslong as the chippers wheels are in 1 man can easily do it. might need some lighting or good work lamps wired into youre reverse lights for when its dark though

Or get some battery operated lights that you stick on the inside of the container. Thats what I've put in in one of my storage yards on the gate posts facing in. I just get out switch them on reverse in, turn them off.
