Chipper & container problem. Help

[Mesterh]

Trouble is the container door bottom is below the level of the container door or should I say the sealing strip is and the locking bars, so building the outside floor level up isn't an option

 

Ahh well thats my brilliant plan out of the window then

Thanks for all your input guys....very helpful!

Now i have another problem!!!

The container i am buying is located in the middle of a field....and no hiab company will shift it unless i can get it to hard standing....which is two fields away.

Now i have access to two large tractors that will lift them but not high enough or safe enough to get onto a trailer. I was thinking about using some dollies but cant find anywhere that hires them out .

Any ideas guys?

Get four telegraph poles and rag it across the field roman style

I've seen a container jacked up with four highlift jacks and then a flat bed lorry reversed underneath, also seen it done with a porter cabin.

It is possible to do it this way but bloody dangerous!

put ur hazards on it helps

that will work very well and will not damage the land surface. but a bit of a faff working the rollers from the rear to the front over and over.

 

 

If you you not worried about ploughing up the field and the tractor is man enough why not just chain one end of the container to the rear hitch, lift the hitch and drag it off the field.

 

Alternatively, use the tractor to slightly tilt the container (each side in turn) to gain access to the underside . Then bolt two 4"x4" skids to the floor length wise like a sledge. Then drag it out with the tractor

Sounds a bit risky for my liking. The answer is to wait for a hard frost and get a hiab lorry in their, but the trouble is i need the container like yesterday!!!

Does anyone know anybody with a 4wd hiab capable of lifting it?

i think dean means that you put the telegragh poles in long ways and use them as a sledge.

 

or

 

do you not know anyone with a tele handler to lift it on to a trailer in the feild. probibly need lifted 1 end at a time tho

We tryed lifting one today with an 8 ton JCB loader with 8ft pallet forks but the rails under the container got bent! ploughing up the field is not an option as i dont think Girl Guides UK would be very happy.

What size container are we talking here, I'm thinking 20ft ??

 

What I have done David is cut the poles to 10ft and shove in sideways, two people can easy handle them when they come out the back taking them to the front again, leaves very little damage to the ground
