Ed Poore Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 They are slight @Stellaghostoverkill but I only paid scrap value for the big ones ("small" were free) and contributed towards fuel for delivery in my defence. I have been trying to find out if there are any bridges being built locally to see if they'll swap for some more sensibly sized ones for a garage...

I know I had a tidy up and was very carefully picking them up with the pallet forks on the JCB, obviously had to take the top ones off to get to the bottom ones to move first. Anyway after carefully picking up one at a time and placing them in the new out-of-the way location I got to the last 3 small ones which were on some temporary bearers. It was getting dark, I was getting fed up and thought **** it and just slide the forks under all three. She lifted them comfortably and I know it's about the 2t mark that the arse starts getting a little light so I doubt all three weighed a tonne.

JLM Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 So what did the weight of it all come out to in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 We never got around to weighing it. We were very happy to get it mounted and the winch wired up the night before we left for Seven Sisters. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLM Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 It looks really good, inspires me to try make one for mine. Especially now I've got my CNC plasma table working and I can cut out the bits myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 Thanks. It'll have to come off at some point for some better paint, we can weigh it then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
