That's the path I'm on---drop it onto trailer, then walk it off the trailer with friend....simple, cheap, low risk. The compressor hasn't shipped yet, so it's probably another week before I report back with pics
you guys have given me a ton of things to ponder. very helpful. A couple comments. It is 475 lbs shipped. I'll have a 30 yr old man to help with the task, whichever way we go. We had a 26 ft box truck make it up the driveway to the top no issue when we moved in, but whenever I've had big...
yes, it comes on a typical 40 x 48 wood pallet
yeah taking off the motor and pump probably the way to go. A hassle but might not have a choice. I should be able to muscle a handtruck with just a tank up the driveway, not easy but should be doable
yeah that's what i worried about, too steep to keep it from tipping over. i don't have a truck but could certainly rent a home depot truck, but then i gotta figure out how to get it off the truck.

I remember coming across all kinds of tiny factories in what were very residential areas of Nagoya, back in the early 1980s. Fascinating. Thinking back, they were probably associated with the auto industry in some way
Yeah it's organized and efficient but seems way overkill for what is a really simple problem with a cheap solution....wipe it out and hang it somewhere, call it good.
But this is GJ where we dig this stuff it seems
