Scrapping furnaces and boilers for homeowners... Without stairs.

I'm wondering if there's a contraption that would make it easier to get those things out. Particularly in one piece.



Laborers, that's it, I need laborers.

We don't have basements in NZ... weird, I know.

But would a towtruck do the job? Just back up over the entrace and drop the tow cable directly downwards.
Attach it to the boiler, then winch it out.

As a scrapper, or a mover of heavy machinery, it'd pay to get to know a good tow truck firm and driver, get their card, keep it handy.
After years of shifting machinery, then one day getting a forklift (that I 'borrowed') bogged down in gravel while shifting a lathe into a shipping container, with a wasps nest somewhere nearby....
My mate suggests " A tow truck......?"

Absolute watershed moment....

Have you thought about a gantry crane ?

You could probably make one out of scrap for low $$$.

The most practical all around thing for scrapping is an appliance dolly.

You can do a lot with some 2 x 10 planks and a good dolly if you put your mind to it. A chain hoist comes in handy too. It's good for lifting things out of the basement or pulling a heavy load up a ramp.
