How can I move this tv ?

[The Cobbler]

didn't read all posts so forgive if its duplicate. 14 or 16' 2x with ply fastened to the backside. pulleys on the 2 x with ropes to the floor. lash tv to the ropes, tip it over onto the slide and lower to floor with ropes . You still need 3 to 4 people I would say

I would drop it on a mattress or two. But I'm a knucklehead.

I'm still trying to figure out who can watch a TV 12' in the air...

Maybe its directly above the bed facing downward

Some of you all have been watching too many Wiley E. Coyote cartoons. Remember, it never worked for him.

 

[Garett]

Pics?

 

[GTFiero]

Sawsall. Opps. That's what I did with the projection tv in basement.

 

[HotrodHR]

Shove the bed under it and push... hope it lands on the mattress.

The question I have is... how in the heck do you watch a TV 12 feet from the floor?

 

[HotrodHR]

My only other suggestion is to build a box around it and call it duct work to those that ask.

Now that's funny... I don't care who you are, that's funny!

Fill the room with old tires.

 

[PelicanPines]

Whatever you do... film it... post it on YouTube... I will like it no matter what.

 

[Leaflessshadetree]

I'd just lean an extension ladder to it at as shallow an angle as possible.
Climb the ladder and pull the TV towards me onto the ladder and slide it down.

Are the hospitals in Pitt packed right now? Might be best to leave it be for a few months.

pretty sure if it has a tube in it and its heavy I am pushing it down and getting a broom

Unless you have a concrete floor, I'd be worried about the floor damage, lol. If I dropped that big ol' ***** on my 150-year-old floors, it would go all the way to the basement!

What kind of bedroom has a 12 to 14-foot ceiling?

Ones that need big TVs

 

[jchetty]

Do you have the room for something like this? This makes it a one person job. Use slings to go around the tv.

I would absolute drop that biatch onto a mattress. Put a piece of plywood or OSB on the wall to protect it from the tumbling TV and probably on either side of the mattress since it'll probably bounce and roll.
I had to move a 40" tube TV down the stairs. They were carpeted so I just laid a piece of cardboard at the bottom to protect the floor and slide the TV down on it's (heavy) glass front. Easy-peasy.

 

[Lassen Forge]

So...



Seriously, I want to see how this resolves itself...

I see them all the time. 12' is pretty common for a master bedrooms in an upscale home.

Build scaffolding in the room with an extra section that goes higher than the TV.

Slide the TV onto the scaffolding, then you can use a block and tackle or chain hoist attached to the top section to lift it up, then remove the decking it is sitting on, and then lower the TV down through the middle of the scaffolding section. Then take the scaffolding apart around the TV once lowered.

Just get some 16 foot 2x4s and make a ramp from the shelf to the floor and slowly lower it and screw some boards across it at spaced intervals and lower it in steps

Get a truck with a crane and cut a hole in the roof

From 12 feet up that's practically straight down. A ramp would be more like 24 feet... and don't forget to anchor the bottom somehow. I still want to see the video of this, assuming nobody gets hurt.

Stuntmen jumping off buildings land safely on stacked empty cardboard boxes. A stuntman weighs about the same as this TV.

So just stack up empty cardboard boxes to the level of the TV, and push/pull it off the shelf.

Lots of smaller boxes not 2 or 3 large ones. Also DON"T FORGET THE VIDEO in case no one has mentioned it.

I have to figure out how to move an old Sony trinitron tv off a shelf that is 12’ high. It weights 260lbs. The only thing I can think of is to somehow use my die Cart (it looks Like a dolly) and lower it down, problem is die cart only raises to 4’

Here is the cart I have

Push it off, buy a new TV. Things a dinosaur anyway.

 

[PelicanPines]

Sell the house... As Is...

 

[JRC3]

Option 1: A towable backhow, flip the bucket and load the TV on.

Option 2: Install PVC airlines behind the TV.

Option 3: Blast the TV onto the bucket with PVC airlines.

I had L-4-5 surgery years ago. First day back from surgery.
My TV with no remote was wall mounted. Got tired of trying to walk over to change channels.
So I go get it off the shelf and waddle over to a table by the couch, realize I can't bend to put it on the table. I decided to drop it on the couch.
It bounced off the cushions, hit me in my shins, and knocked be backward over the table.

My local home depot has a 12' material lift you can rent.

Home Depot $50/4 hours.

I just looked a local rental place and you can do it for $32.

This is the answer.

 

[couch67]

build a new ceiling at 8' . call the upstairs the 'TV room'

HD is $48, locals are almost always cheaper, just depends when you need it, HD hours and proximity might justify the cost difference.

Local Bloss has a 650lb, 18' lift for $50 for 4 hours.

Regardless, my point was this would be a great way to do it, regardless of where you source the rental.

 

[MileHighRover]

Hope the OP wasn't under it when it came down. Maybe that's why he hasn't posted back...

Oh I wasn't arguing, it was a good idea, I was just giving pricing options. I'm a tightwad, but I do HD sometimes because they are the closest to me. And usually I print off the prices from the locals and HD will match it.

Haven't read all posts on this, but given the age of that monster, a sawsall would be in order after blasting the screen with birdshot.--reduce it to small pieces.
