At auctions, they always promise to be able to assist with loading, most of the time, they do but sometimes it seems to be impossible to get the promised assistance a few days after the event, but within the promised time (of loading being furnished):
I have a GN trailer with a 12k winch, triple self-cleaning ramps and wooden deck. I could drag big chunky metal items up, but do not want to get hung up, or damage the trailer floor, paint more than needed. Thought about bolting plywood to the ramps, overlay floor, or use wooden rollers or HD plastic "shoes", skids (bucket lids, cut open oil bottles) on the pulled items. Bringing my own loader means another trip (often 150 miles one way!) or getting a rental is too $.
Or one loads in the middle of nowhere, snakes being more common than people...
Just looking for some options that may have worked for you.
Current dilemma, shop-built spray rig: booms, tank, pump& hoses already off, but rest is bulky no hubs, wheels, but repairable and needed as a whole unit. Think it weighs around 5-700 lbs. No immediate neighbors, either.
Any thoughts, help, ideas are appreciated!
