Unloading a SA200

admin

I need to get a SA200 out of my truck and into my garage. I'm thinking about renting an engine hoist to pull this off but not having any exp. with them I don't know if this gonna work. Anyone ever try this or got any other tricks to loading and unloading a machine?

Reply:Gee thanks Tozzi! I don't know why I didn't think of that... lol
Reply:A one ton chain fall off a big tree limb will do the trick. I have used that method for numerous engine swaps and other projects.Disclaimer; "I am just an a$$hole welder, don't take it personally ."
Reply:Unbolt it from the truck, back REAL FAST toward garage, Stomp the brakes. Done right, it should end up somewhere in the garage.
Reply:I use my 1 ton engine fold-up hoist fully extended (1000# position) to unload from the back of trucks or trailers. Once the truck/trailer is pulled out from under it, lower the load close to the ground for best stability while rolling into desired position.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!

Reply:Rent 2ton engine hoist as a safety precaution.
Reply:Duane is correct.As long as the bulk of the load doesn't extend beyond the casters on the front legs of the engine hoist it's perfectly safe."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
