WTBorrow: Shop Crane

[scott.mohekey]

Does anybody in Christchurch have a shop crane they'd be willing to lend me? I need to drop an engine + transmission, separate the two, and then lift the engine up onto an engine stand. Shouldn't be more than a few hours.

[Goku]

Thats a fun job

I should probably see if I can grab the one I used so I can lift my motor on the engine stand.....

[scott.mohekey]

If I can't find one to borrow, I'm going to hit up all the hire places. If that fails.. I might have to buy one, and if I do, you're more than welcome to borrow it.

[Goku]

They're not cheap man, we sell them at work on occasion

[scott.mohekey]

Yeah, I've seen a few places selling them for $400 -> $450.

[scott.mohekey]

Picked one up for $329.

[Goku]

Oh sweet

How many ton ?

[scott.mohekey]

It's a 1 ton, should be enough for what I need though.

[Goku]

Nice, might have to borrow it some time

[Fully]

I have one!

[OnBoost!]

Ah he has bought one already....lol........your too late.

[Fully]

[scott.mohekey]

Must have got lost in the great forum outages of '09 !

Oh well, you can never have too much junk in your garage.

[Goku]

So now there are 2 people with cranes..... anyone want to help me lift my dang motor onto the engine stand ?

[scott.mohekey]

I might be free at some point this weekend.

[Goku]

Cool, that would be great.... sunday is the only day I'll have free due to work.

[Fully]

Ill give ya a hand bro, just txt me what time

[Goku]

Sweet as, I gotta go round to Dales and put my 18's on first, so it should be early afternoon.

Also, don't forget about the BBQ at Dales on saturday night

[Fully]
