Kind of mr2 related

Right,

Problem is:-

How do I get a 4AGE engine c/w gearbox onto the back of a half truck transit, flat bed is 1.2m above the ground without the use of an engine hoist/crane?

Getting it off may be easier, but getting it on you cant use gravity as its so bloody heavy!

Any ideas?

Have you got any friends?

[SuperRedMR2]

Yes, the one who's house its at.

We're not weak, but we also have to work the next day and don't want a horrific back problem.

Getting some sort of ramp made at work shouldn't be an issue but my brain is currently mashed and can't think of anything.

Any body you know with a boat winch?

Strap it in the back of the Transit pull it up the ramp.

[stenky]

or winch it up the ramp using some decent ratchet straps

Split the engine and gearbox

[boondougal]

Defo split it, should be very liftable then!

Could the buyer bring a mate along Alex

That'd make four of you to lift

[SuperRedMR2]

Peter, I did suggest to the buyer about coming to my mate's in Clacton and picking it up but he wanted to knock me for £15 worth of diesel.

The box will be split and therefore I should be able to pick the lump up myself.

two very long planks of wood, tie it to them, lift from the ends.
Works every time.

be easier inversting in a winch but should be easy enough to lift if there are 2 and you split it
