Moving a range cooker.

[ericmark]

I have only been involved in fitting one range cooker and yes it was hard. First it was striped as much as we could. Then we built a ramp to get it from the bow to floor level around 4 foot drop and it was so narrow could not get 4 guys around it so it was ropes etc. The whole boat is only around 6 foot wide or narrow! And with both doors open not much room. And then we had to remove concrete ballast to compensate for weight of cooker. And you find it had getting it into a house! With level floors! You can use skates, greased boards without worry of it running away and crashing onto boat floor and the house does not rock from side to side. Can it really be that hard?

Hi, i know this is an old thread, but if any one is still looking how to move a range cooker, we found those glass suckers pads are brillant,one on each end of the panels, it's of course a two man job.
One fly in the ointment is now we need to move it out to be repaired and can
only attach one of the glass suckers pads, so now afraid of damaging legs on the othe side.
These cookers are good longs you dont have to move them after being fitted !!!!!!! GRRRR

I found the bottom rails have small holes in the bottom, so I purchased 4 x castors with threaded rods like these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rubber-Swivel-Castor-Trolley-Furniture/dp/B017GLWKXK, then used pieces of wood to pry up each corner of the cooker and bolt the castors in the holes. Then we could roll it around easily.
