When I had my AutoLifters delivered I booked the local towing guy, who
brought his flat bed over, backed it up to the semi, winched it over (see
photo) to the flat bed from the semi, then he backed the flat bed right up
to the garage, tipped up and slid it into the garage.
We put it together with an engine hoist as our "crane". Your two-poster
should be much easier than the four poster with ramps.
Good luck

Subject: Lifts - shipping?
So, the next question I have is about shipping one of these lifts. They of
course ship by freight truck which presents a problem for my location. I
have
no means to unload something like this and for that matter a freight truck
is
not going to fit down my private road. What I would like to do is pick the
lift up maybe at the freight terminal? If I can set it on my open car
trailer
I can back into the bay where it will be installed and unload it with some
sort of engine hoist/block and tackle combo, or slid it off with some sort
of
rollers. Or better yet since my trailer is a tilt bed I may simply be able
to
prep the columns on the trailer and then "tilt" the columns into place right
off the trailer (along with some muscle from a couple of guys).
I'll call the supplier and see what the options are but I was wondering if
any
of you have experience with this? Is it possible to have it shipped to a
freight depot and then have the depot unload it from the freight truck and
onto my car trailer?
Thanks
Wayne
