Can A Couple Of People Give Me A Hand For 5 Mins.

[Abo Bob]

I'm in Ryde and I need to get my engine from the ground to the back of a ute that I'm going to hire to take it to the engine builder down near Canberra.

Need 3 strong people plus me to lift it as they are quite heavy bastards.

Around 7pm or so, slightly flexible.

Anyone available?

The engine is on a pallet so you wont get dirty.

Beers available for the duration of the job then I've gotta run.

As long as the beer is cold - ill help you out

[Abo Bob]

I have a fridge devoted to the cause.

Thanks mate.

I can't on friday mate, but the best advice that i can give you is that hiring a ute and driving the engine down to canberra yourself may not be the most economical way to get it there. the excess kms charge will be a bitch. plus the time you will spend driving. I would seriously investigate pack and send, or busfrieght or toll etc. could save you time and money, plus let the pick it up with a pallet jack

edit: try scotts transport too.

dont quote me as if already had a few,but im sure i read in these threads about it only costing $120 to send an engine on a pallet to canberra(or melbourne) by train.

There is still a possibility of sending it but most of the time I have to either be there during the day for a pick or drop it off to a depo which would involve the ute thing anyway.

Adam ,

I cant help because i wont be at home but a couple of tips mate :

Hire a table top not a ute , it will be much easier and you will need 4 people one on each corner and the bloody pallet weighs about 5o kg if it is a standard 46"x46" so all up a bit over 200 kg .

It would be heaps easier with an engine crane if you can get your hands one one .

I should be fine to help you, PM me if you want. It will be easier for me to come straight there from work as im in St Leonards.

Thanks mate.

It's now moved to sunday arvo about 3ish as I have found a cheaper/better option with regard to freight.

I'll be in touch in a little while guys but if you could post whether this changes anything for you I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

ps, thanks Glenn - You know who you are.

[Tragic]
