Marc and I will resort to machinery... Was just looking for an excuse to go to Harbor Freight anyway.

If we're unsuccessful, we'll repost request. If not we'll post photos

Post by: DWP on January 01, 2012, 12:33:23 pm: Sorry I can not be there to help,
You can try what I did to get a body off a trailer. Use a pair of 2x8. about 10 feet long.
Put them under each side and just slide the body off on to the ground.Might have to drive the trailer forward.
4x4will work also.

Post by: rich67vw on January 01, 2012, 06:34:58 pm: Sorry big guy, cant make it.

We really need a bunch of folks to help there, bub, so nobody gets hurt. That was a struggle getting that ON the trailer with the four folks we had back then...

Post by: VWPANZER1 on January 01, 2012, 09:15:40 pm: I can make it, if I can possible help?

Can you get the trailor in the garage?

Do you have a winch ... and a beam to attach it too?
Title: Re: Need help moving a body Monday (1/02) morning
Post by: Baha (Shawn) on January 01, 2012, 11:07:03 pm: Winch yes...Beam? no

I put it up on stands (by myself) in the front and bolted on the bumper brackets and bolted a 2x4 to it.
