Dear, the parts I just sold paid for that part ;)  Group: Members Posts: 1,568 Joined: 26-December 02 From: Williamsburg, VA Member No.: 16  |
My engine is at the loading dock of the shipper and they don't have a fork lift on the ground to lower the engine to my trailer. They have a fork lift up on the dock but that's it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Any Ideas? I was thinking about renting a Uhaul truck and using its ramp to help but am not sure. Has anyone used the Lowes trucks before? If I could get some straps they think the fork lift could lower the engine (on a pallet) down. Where do I buy straps strong enough for the weight. Cheer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Tie down straps are very cheap ($12/pair) and VERY strong (one will easily hold your engine). Use two for balance though!
Any motorcycle or car parts shop will have them. As will UHaul, etc. Strap the engine to the bottom of the forks and raise it, then lower the engine over the side of the dock. |
