If its a low trailer you should be fine with lots of people to lift it.6-8 I'd say ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo = Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

Got a winch on the trailer?Pallet in the centre with a board on top does the trick. Drag it up the ramps on that. The wood will slide with I and you can get some jacks under it to reposition the board if needs be. Or if you have some helpers, lift it on by hand. ________________________________________  |

Nah, just do the following:- cut a hole in the roof - train at the gym for 1-2 years doing lots of leg and back work - fix some industrial strength straps to the inside - cut the floor out - ... and lift  Hope that helps ________________________________________ Light travels faster than sound.
