New tool box

[Dentaltec]

No this is not a thread asking which to buy, its a thread asking how the hell do you lift these gigantic 72" top boxes on top of the bottom box? I have palates coming "Extreme tool chest" I search Youtube for a video on how the hell to get it up on top. I assume I have to invite a bunch of guys over?

Thanks

Get it on the ground unpackage it put the handles on it, remove the drawers, take two straps and fling them over the rafters in the garage, have 3 people there with plenty of beer, pull box up and slide bottom box into place, let go of straps and wala the box is on top, reinstall drawers. 2nd way get 4wd pickup and have delivery guy put box in pickup, unpackage box, remove drawers, have box on end of tailgate, slide box onto prepositioned bottom box and reinstall drawers. This way only 2 persons are required. Have plenty of beer

Buy a fork lift or skid steer. Still need two people to set/guide it in place though. Skid steer is more versatile.

Employing some high speed maneuver to lift the box is cool, but why would you when it totally negates opportunity to have some buddies over to ogle your new box and grunt and whatnot. New boxes are a celebratory occasion.

This made me laugh because its so damn true. I have a 2 friends in particular that are rabid about one upping. This set up I picked up is going to drive them nuts

I just wanted to have the full flipping effect as they walk in to the garage with the new LED overheads making the powder coat gloss glisten while the sound of angels singing in the background fill the space

All the drawers out, 4 average guys can lift it. Put 2x4's under the top box so nobodies fingers get pinched, then remove them once it is in place
