Removing from Container
— 5th November2008
In Container.
The wheels, axles and guards were stored on pallets that were nailed to the container floor.
After the nails were removed from the wooden sled and the jockey wheel a forklift pulled the precious cargo from the container.
They had to change over the forklift attachment to something a bit stronger, better safe than sorry.
It's a very tight fit, the sled worked quite well.
Wider angle of the same shot, looks good.
Three forklifts one on the drawbar and one each side raised the boat and trailer so the sled could be removed and the axles and wheels could be rolled under and attached, the guys from the yard were excellent.
The sled had the timber rails on the bottom angled to help get the complete package into the container.
