storing utility trailer

admin

We built an aluminum flat deck utility trailer at work.  It is highly likely that it will disappear if we don't take measures.  We have decided to hang it vertically on the side of the building using the forlift and our boom.  Anyone done this before??  We are still brainstorming on this one.    The building is a concrete tilt up so the load is not a problem.
Reply:Put it on top of the building.. ...zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.

Reply:The only thing I would watch for is hidden water entrances or traps because of corrosion, freezing and so-on. I'd also make sure the axle was on a horizontal plane. Sounds good tho.

Reply:Ever seen one of those Harbor Freight fold up trailers that roll around on castors? Thats what I use. It's ok but the cheap plastic castors break. You could copy that idea, or maybe you could have the forklift hang it safer on an inside wall.
Reply:We solved the problem.  It now resides on top of the compressor shed in wheel chocks made out of channel.
