    Did those have 4 or 6 compressors? Luckily I only get them one at a time. Some day I will have bigger trailers!

    Joe they had four in each, I don't own those trailers Joe I use a heavy equipment movers. They have a wet line and they raise like a dump truck we just pull them of with a fork lift and line the up in my yard. Works good customers love the attention and service.

    I've seen them done with helicopters too, either way big jobs + bigger payday!

    The helicopters are used when there is no room to set up a crane and park a flatbed next to it, there was one job that I did many years ago in Midtown Manhattan when I was based in New York, I did not pay for the helicopter thank god, it had to move the chiller a few blocks where we set up our staging area.

    First time I saw helicopters used was at LAX, the airport didn't like the idea of cranes and planes. Helicopters and planes work together just fine.
