Portable Micro Crane

old wrinkly · 2 Jul 2020

I am looking to see if there is a micro crane I could hire that we allow me to lift a Vortex 6 Sewage Treatment Plant over my neighbours 6 foot fence so that I can take it from the front to my rear garden.

The crane will have to be able to go through the rear door of the garage, even if in folded up form.

I only have a 1.2mtr pathway so can't wheel it down the path so it will have to be swung over the top of the fence posts in someway.

Any advice more than welcome.

Remove the fence panel, and use an engine hoist

Thanks, not my fence so need to ask. Also need to know what engine hoist would be suitable to give correct lift as still have to clear concrete posts.

What is the size and weight of said doofer?

How is the machine for digging the hole getting in, could that not be used?

this ^^

looking at the brochure for the plant, it's 2m tall, and about 1.2m diameter, made from HDPE, so I'd assume a couple hundred kilos weight max (I can't imagine you'd want to move it whilst full!)

Should be easy enough to lift with a 1 ton mini excavator, which will easily fit down the gap mentioned.

I'd invest/make some wheeled dollies for trundling it around on the level - 2ft sq of 18mm ply with some 100mm swivel castors should make easy work of moving even on flags/bad concrete.
