Steelies Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 ah gotcha. nice. possibility, though on closer inspection (these are loafers) i may have to go for the cheapest option here. perhaps i forgot to re-double some costs after doubling them the first time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombsquad Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The container could fall under the same category as a carport or portacom, but neither of those are consented for residential habitation, Late reply but you and cubastreet are correct, i did not factor in human habitation re: building consent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hello Mr steels long time reader first time involved poster, while it isn't related to current discussion I'm gonna drop this while I'm thinking about it. I was thinking about it last night and wondered if you'd been in touch with any machinery movement specialists or something? You could lift each end of the cunt ainer with one of these hooha's, swing one end out over the footpath/whatever is on the opposite side of the road, while the other one backs up the drive. Once the container is straight you could ditch the forklift on the property side and push/lift the container into position from with the lower one. NB: you'd need a bigger one of these and bigger forklifts which is why i suggested machinery movers. They specialise in moving shit 10x the weight of an empty container. Also it would depend on whats on the other side of the road Also if there was a street lamp there, that'd suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 a cool idea, but again there is the same main fail. - a 40ft container is too big to go up the drive, no matter how it's held up. where it says 'box' is a near vertical bank.

xsspeed Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 What about a 3-point/k turn to get in the drive? head up past the drive then bring nearer end up drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 ok, i'll refrase that. the container is too big to go up the drive heh. a good idea though! drive points more downhill than the 'plan' suggests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thminiman Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 a cool idea, but again there is the same main fail. - a 40ft container is too big to go up the drive, no matter how it's held up. where it says 'box' is a near vertical bank. Yup I saw that. What i was trying to suggest is; in that picture if you lift the end at the drive but hold it still, then lift the 'main road' end and push it out towards where it says 'box', then the container would be in the air, but pointing up the drive, then the forklift in the drive could back up, and pull the container with it. if the container was slung on chains from that lifting beam then the forklift could still be on the road while the container stuck out in the air over some unsuspecting blokes house or whatever. yea, pretty circumstantial on what is on the other side of the road. steepness shouldn't matter much forklifts have vroom rooms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGal Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The area that "BOX" is a steep bank so you cant swing the container out that way at all. And steep banks all round so you cant really swing off the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AllTorque Posted January 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2014 The answer is so obvious that you all cant see the forest for the trees. Just stop and think for a minute. What was built with the sole purpose of delivering containers vertically? You're welcome. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Nice! What's the fine for not doing all the paper work for a container house? When you get the letter just ring the swing lift and take it away the next morning. "What house?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
