How I Unloaded A 44" Box From Pickup

[outdoorsman310]

It worked fairly well. I hope this helps somebody. it weighs about 300 lbs

I'd be worried about my fat *** and a 300lb. box would bust the 2x12s...

I t was ***** to unload the fricken thing. basically did a control fall out the back of a pickup. they sure do pack those things well.

Those straps holding the ramp are genius!

I just removed all of the drawers and then lifted the empty box out.

That's how I did mine.

Those straps holding the ramp are genius!

There is also velcro tape where the ramps meet the tailgate. The other side of the tape is only on the tailgate of my other truck.

I just enlisted the help of a few teenagers! But it was a trailer, not as far down to go. Unbox on the trailer, placed a sheet of plywood on the edge and rolled it down.

My 71 might be able to come out and play in 2 months still have 50 inches of snow on the ground.

That ramp was way overbuilt.
You should have used a couple of 2x4's to make it a more interesting video.

Used an AstroVan for transport. It had the rear seats removed.
Had the store remove the skid and put the box on their hydraulic lift upside down, and take the cardboard bottom tray off, so the casters stuck up in the air.
We then slid it onto the van at floor level. It just fit.

When I got home, I parked at the curb at the corner of the street, where there was sidewalk.

Slid it out by myself until the box set at an angle with one edge of the box on the ground and the other just on the lip of the floor of the van. Remember, it's upside down, so this is the edges of the top. But they pack these pretty well.

It's now far enough out, so I rotate the van end up until the box is on it's end and sitting on the cement.

Then I just continued to tip it over long ways, onto the casters. Rolled it up the sidewalk to the garage.

Good job. Looks like it took you for a little ride. I'm loving the old Kawasaki enduro in the background F7?

thats my first bike! '77 Ke250 street legal. I used to ride it in the winter but didn't feel like retagging it this october. I will soon though. It is still insured and i love riding it! The low beam went out so I need a new sealed beam 6v headlight for it.

I hauled my 72" box home in a crate on a tilt trailer and still had to drag it off my 4x4 ATV it was so heavy.

 

[Kracin]

strap it to your back, do a squat, and walk down the ramp. easy!

 

[Farmall450]

My brother happened to have a few friends over so...

 

[outdoorsman310]

the side of the box says 299.60 lb haha

 

[rice rocket]

I used a ramp too, but I rolled it down end over end instead of sliding it because my ramp is covered in grip-tape material.

I unloaded a similar sized toolbox today. Laying on its back in my pickup, I slid it onto the tailgate and past the balance point, then gently let it down onto two wheels (stopped at 45-ish degrees), then stood upright.

 

[Bigblue&Goldie]

Why not just go ask a neighbor for help?

FWIW, my buddy and I loaded and unloaded both of my 44" boxes by hand and my tailgate is 3' off the ground.

 

[outdoorsman310]

I had the ramps handy and wanted to see if it worked. I was also cleaning the garage and did not want people looking at all of my ****.
