Tank Raising Party

[David@wegetkraken]

Moving a roughly 700 lb tank from trailer to stand this Saturday. I have an industrial cart, heavy duty ramps and large Woods suction cups to assist with the move. Need 5-7 guys with strong backs and patient dispositions and offering $100 per person. If interested please send me a note. Stillwater, NJ (Sussex County). First floor move. Experience preferred, but not required.

When do you need the help?

Tank is being repaired by manufacturer tomorrow. Provided that goes well I am looking to move it on Saturday. Will set the time as soon as I have everyone's availability. Already have a few guys lined up

 

[David@wegetkraken]

If all goes to plan should only have to lift it twice. Once to position it on the cart from the trailer and once to get it off the cart and onto the stand. Should be able to roll it the rest of the way. Relatively easy move, just need some extra backs. Nothing tricky.

Thank you for the responses. I have six folks potentially lined up, including myself, and wouldn't mind 2 more to keep it safe and/or to fill in just in case someone can't make it. If interested, please send me a note.

Would love to come but you're over an hour and a half away. Good luck with the move!

Repairs are in progress. New glass arrived safely and is being installed as I type. Shooting to move it around 11am Saturday.

Looks like you are 1 hour and 45 minutes away. Sorry. Good luck

Distance makes no difference. I’ll be there. I will see if my son in law is available. If we need more help

....and would it be a problem if I brought a camera and shared some pics with the club

Just got done removing all the excess silicone from the blue vinyl. Going to let it continue to cure till morning and then install the center emergency drain line to the union for my eventual Bean Animal set-up...just easier to do before I get it on the stand and shouldn't get in the way. One more day and I'll have that big guy on the stand!
