durty Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 put it up on end then tilt it down under power lines. Kinda like moving a sofa into a house? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hell, just cut the power lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldturkey Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 put it up on end then tilt it down under power lines. Kinda like moving a sofa into a house? Yeah that's not silly actually. Start with it on its end, then as you drag the bottom end towards the lines lower the top end gradually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Keeping with the sofa analogy; problem is that a small child can push a sofa around a lounge floor, but you need 2 grown men to end-on shuffle it into a house and lower it down as you move it through a doorway in a narrow hallway, so probably also need 4 times the crane power to do something similar Good luck Manu if only there was an easy solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubastreet Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 surfcaster fishing rods to prop up the power lines and slide it in underneath? I feel ya pain, guess that's why project managers charge so much.... I share yard space with WE, haven't seen them at all lately so I guess they're mad busy. or all on holiday.

Bombsquad Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yeah that's not silly actually. Start with it on its end, then as you drag the bottom end towards the lines lower the top end gradually. the sheer impossibility of this is amazing,.. as someone who works with trucks/cranes/diggers I just have to say facepalm. straight out the gate he'd be needing two cranes with longer reach, massive $$!! plus if i understand you correctly you propose the cranes steel cable can pass through the power lines? or does it get rigged under the line and the swing out of control when the second crane takes the weight? Honestly dude best solution is a decent roughy set up in the side street, if you can tell me the distance from the point where you think you can set the crane and the approx weight of container, I can tell you roughly the size of the machine you'll be needing, eg a 80 tonne roughy will lift 6.5 tonne at 20 metres out from the crane base (that should cover your requirements i think??)

Steelies Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 yeah that's exactly what i need. 5tonne, 20 metres. titans say worst case theyll need a crane with 7x7m footprint, plus mats that add an extra 800 each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 yeah WE will be a bit busy i guess, such is life. YES dirigible, keen ...And it read Ice Cube's a pimp Is the container just steel at the moment? Or is there wood in it? Cut I 3 and reweld? May be cheaper than crane... If its even allowed... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 lined with EPS sandwich freezer panel and that's it. container already painted in 2pack, not keen for any more hot work. should have got 2 x 20'ers! there is more welding to do on it anyway, unfortunately. needs tags on top for roof bracing but they couldnt be done pre-paint as they made the box over-height for transport. and welding to steel plates in the footings. any of you chaps want to magic me an 'acceptable alternative' to bracing the roof to the box?

xsspeed Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 does the top roof have to be connected to the box at all? Can't sit on some posts and just have some joists and rafters of suitable size for the necessary span Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
