has anyone got a tail lift van i can borrow?

[se7enthdevil]

hi guys, bit of a last resort but i need to borrow a van with a tail lift for a small but heavy cast iron planer i need to shift. can anyone help???

 

 

i need it at J7 of the M4 hopefully on a weekend. 

 

it weighs about 200kg and can be manhandled on to the tail lift no problem and it only needs transporting about half a mile up the road so was hoping somebody would have a bit of goodwill and help me out.

 

beer money will be waiting if it's wanted.

 

by the way i can't drive due to epilepsy so it would be nice if the owner could do that bit...

Would  a plant trailer do with a full width ramp

two hundred kilo's?..   you could at a pinch use a normal flatback or van and get it on the back by using a few pallets.. two pallets first, inch it on the pallets then add a pallet either side till you get to the right height...  still, if someone has tail lift it would make it easier all round..  or a trailer like HTB mentioned.

Or just stick it on a sack borrow and push it.

i'm not pushing it half a mile up a steep hill....

 

 

jacking it up on to a normal van is a possibility but a last resort.

Engine hoist, probably hire one for £20/day, lift in van,or get it high enough for a couple of you to handball onto a pick-up.

If i was near you i would offer. How about a neighbour with a small trailer like a camping trailer. Even the tiniest one will take 200kg and they are very low so should be possible to manhandle it in.

that's a thought, i'll have to look into that.

this is the sucker i have to shift. it came out the factory in 1957 and is deceptively heavy.
