Yeah this will surely need some consideration, the ground is asphalt, i have a tree to anchor in maybe 30m from the stairs and some hefty chains lying for other weird moving projects.. But i think the plankingof the stair and dragging it on them with some form of palette is the way to go. Wonder if i can borro 3 ton jeep winch somewhere... |

I know it's a pain but could you not separate the machines into or manageable prices? Remove gear boxes,saddles etc? That's how I had to move the Churchill in. Takes a bit more time but a fair bit safer and easier. |

I'll sketch up something when I get home, but I was suggesting using the frame to drag things up the stairs, not as a straight lift. I didforget to mention scaffold planks on the stairs will be required though. It will be a lot easier winching from a frame as you'll be part lifting/part dragging rather then purely dragging things with a winch on its own, but either will work Tarmac can be rather soft once you put point loads on it so spread any loads with a nice big foot |
| bertie_bassett:
as promised one pic of proposed set up :) as long as everything is sturdy with no chance of breaking or moving then there shouldn't be any problems |
| John Hill:
A 2 legged frame is good but you must consider what happens when you get that heavy machine to the top! Of course you also have to allow for the space required for the winch/chain block/pulley wheel. You need to be able to get the load past the point of balance across the threshold so that it can be lowered into a horizontal position (yes, I did mention that before didnt ! ! :med:) |
