I want to say werner..... I could be wrong and can check tomorrow. A solid ratchet strap around the stove, tilted enough to balance the weight, one guy up top driving & guiding and a guy on the bottom keeping the weight from tilting forward. Extended hard plastic covered runners on the back of the dolly to slide down the steps slowly. Make sure the bulkhead steps are screwed in (some are not!) And the quality of the steps are good.
Thsnks guys I’m going to check around some more tomorrow for a dolly. Otherwise it will be the rope and pulley. The bilco is precast so the steps won’t collapse thankfully.
We have 2, but lack of space in the vans, -20°F morning's kills the batteries quick. We do use them at times, but have found beefy dolly's are the ticket. We run the dodge promaster, 1 short & 1 long.
It can be but I prefer 2 people just to make sure you don't loose balance. Neither works hard at all it is just about safety
I gotcha- that works. To many class 6 roads up here. Hell, gotta put stoves on ski trams to get to the top of Mt Cannon or a side by side at times when ppl live waayyy back off grid. No cell service half the time, forget a part SOL! Turn back around
I have a set of 33" tires I bolt on the trailer for mountain roads. And the trailer goes behind the truck in that case. I just had to pull the van up a road for about a mile last week. I took the trailer up dropped it then came back down and hooked to the van
If you have the ability to do so. Take as much weight off the stove as you can. Good luck a and be safe.
I accept your challenge...except that I will be at the top, you can just observe from the bottom...watch the master work
My wife made me go pick up a large kiln for her while she conveniently had to work. It was in a basement. I used my 6 ft ramps side by side and a dolly laid down on its back. Pulled it up the steps and across yard to truck. Then used ramps and dolly to get it into truck. Got it all done by myself but it was a long day! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
