moving splitter into back of a berlingo van?

[mattyboy]

Anyone know if i would be able to move on my own a 7 ton perol splitter into the back of a berlingo type van on my own? It is 125 kg. Was thinking i might be able to pivot it on the edge of the back and lift the bottom up and slide as im lifting sort of thing... in theory it could work but wouldnt know unless i tried.

 

Anyone tried this?

125 kg is heavy. i can get our oxdale tm 400 on our tranny tipper, its big base version weighs about 90 kg but i have to shove it on. any heavier and i would be towing.

Not worth trying imo as either you do you're back in trying to lift it or worse you lose control of it and it lands on you.

2 people maybe lift it if there are decent hand holds. Getting it out again will be as bad if not worse I think.

I've got a howard 350 rotavator and I have no idea how much it weighs but it's probably less than 125 kg and I can't push it up ramp into trailer have to drive it up.

Maybe I'm just getting old though!!

Is it yours to lift in lol

How about using an A frame, nearby tree, or engine hoist to help with the weight?

 

I have learnt over the years to use aids of differing kinds to avoid repeating back damage.

 

The other day i hoisted on an electric log splitter i hired onto the transit with a 3to1 pulley block set up we use for rigging
