Yup! they all got in before I got back! if you prop the joist as close as possible to the lift point, with a fixed prop that can't fall out, you will be fine. Lift it half an inch and let it sit for a few minutes to test the rig, then go ahead. |

My joists are bigger, and doubled and cross connected at my lift point, with the resulting safe working load well in excess of a ton. I'm a mechanica l engineer and have to move stuff up to 80 tons at work... not going to have my home stuff fail! No siree! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk |

I Got transportation close to my home and had it loaded onto my trailer (500 kg capacity nominal). Had three friends waiting home and I had rigged platform and all ready. "Only" thing we had to do was to lift the bugger few centimetres, my daugter would pull the trailer out and let it sit a little lower...it would not lift! Four could lift each end but to have it lifed clear was deemed too dangerous. I had one guy to visit with truck/lift. He fits large windows, the boom had a scale. Scale shows 960 kg! A small wonder it felt a bit too heavy. And when it is a lathe shape object, lift has to very secure. No-one wants that shape of things to tilt. Pekka |
