webmaster Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hello Fello Members Russ [MENTION=1419]red[/MENTION]land Pet Centre is expanding his product range and is need of a hand lifting the large 8ft display tank that has been sitting empty at his shop for years. The plan is to move it out so he can increase his range of products. The tank will have some challenges as the height of the cabinet is over 1.5M high. The tank needs to slide off with the massive hood attached. We estimate we will need 6 to 8 strong people to help lift it down This has been planned for this coming Wednesday 2nd Dec afternoon at around 5:30pm Please comment here if you can commit to 30 mins and coming and giving a hand.. Many hands make light work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBree420 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I am useless for lifting, but in my quest to get my big tanks up from my floor to their stands I have discovered that coats hire springwood will hire a scissor lift table for $40 a day. This means you may get away with less people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webmaster Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I am useless for lifting, but in my quest to get my big tanks up from my floor to their stands I have discovered that coats hire springwood will hire a scissor lift table for $40 a day. This means you may get away with less people? Good to know but unfortunately the height we need to lift from is about 160cm (they only go to about 70cm) we have a trolley that we lift onto just need to lift it down Edited November 27, 2015 by webmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I'd be looking for some mechanical advantage Scissor lift is a good idea.....park it next to tank then slip tank onto lift then lower it....man handling it down from 1600 wouldn't be a legal Work place activity....in my opinion I'd bet insurance would be void if any injury occurs Edited November 27, 2015 by Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamishh34 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Would have been happy to help but going to singapore on the 30th so wont be around sorry. Will try asking around to see if anyone can help though. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBree420 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 So I rang coats hire, apparently the person who emailed me was wrong and they don't actually have scissor lifts for hire in qld. So I have just gone and bought one (if the dimensions will fit in my car) that holds up to 350kg and goes up to 1300mm lift height. Am willing to hire it for $40 and come for the lift.

Sounds like a good deal We are also offering everyone that comes a chance to WIN a brand new 6500K LED Light 100-120cm. Basically everyone that helps will be given a raffle ticket to win it. If we get 8 helpers then its a 1 in 8 chances of winning. I you come along and bring a few mates then your chances increase (that is as long as they are willing to donate it to you if the win) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbunamad Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Now you will have 100026 helpers because there is a freebie on offer! Sad hey??
