michaelandbrittany Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 So I'm picking up a 6x2x2 tonight and it's just me and a mate (average size people) we have to drain it ourselves, so there will still be a little bit of water left in it, will we manage? As no one is able to come out and help. I've lifted 5x2x2's before, is there much difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mq_camo Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 2 blokes to lift 6x2 is easy, lift one end when it is nearly empty and put a towel under it so all the water drains out of one end. thenn use the towel to wipe the inside clean, you dont want an unnecessary weight in there.

aquaholic99 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 If the ground is flat then stair climbing fridge trolley (triple wheels) will help. Tip tank onto one end of course. Or a plain platform trolley if there aren't any stairs. Use some padding when tipping onto the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
