Hi guys, I have recently purchased a paper guillotine which weighs approx 300kg
Now there isnt much of an issue lifting it as 4 guys can pick it up quite easily however I need to get it up onto the first floor of my premises and in order to do so you have put it on its side.
Thsi is where the problem occurs. Once you put it on its side it becomes ever so difficult to lift since most of the weight is on one side and its hard to grip. We attempted to get it up the stairs but to no avail. When we tried resting it on each step it would damage the step. We then tried using a plank but the bugger would hardly move up to start with and when it did move it would slide back down.
Now I have been looking around and realised there are these automatic stair climbers which look like standard sack barrows but with some mechanics involved.
HSS Tool hire and Speedy Hire offer them for hire but they are well expensive. Speedy is the cheaper out of the two and even that is 125 pounds a pop and i would only need it for 5 minutes.
Likewise guys, any of you know of a cheaper alternative or a cheaper tool hire company that offer this stair climber for hire at a better price?
Your help would be much appreciated guys
thanks
p.s. anywhere in west yorks would be great
