Anyone in Massachusetts with a forklift?
 

I'm considering driving a thousand miles to get a dyno, need to be able to load the damn thing into a truck. Any hookups?

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts with a forklift?
 

what can a guy pick up a used dyno for? What kind does a guy need?

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts with a forklift?
 

You should move to the natti and let me use it for free.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts with a forklift?

We already have too many dynos here in Cincy.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts with a forklift?
 

We don't have a J davis owned dyno though...Think about it. We do have a somewhat Blundar owned dyno though and thats very cool. I don't see where one more in town owned by a legend would be a bad thing.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts with a forklift?
 

Buy Racelines old dyno, not far away.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts with a forklift?
 

Thanks for the input, guys. I've never moved anything heavy and am half afraid of going all that way and not being ------- prepared.


Most dynos go for $17-45K more than they are worth. Is Raceline's going for pennies, Bone, or what?

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts with a forklift?
 

Well most of my life ive done construction work so I'm used to moving all kind of things heavy enough to kill you. By you making this thread I assume the owner of the dyno has nothing to help you load it with.

one thing that comes to mind if you have a real decent truck to use, is renting a bobcat with a pair of forks to pick it up with if you had to. they can usaully be rented for about $170 a day. I know a little pricey and a pain in the ass to get the thing load the dyno on the truck and then take it back to the local place you rented it from.
If your getting a good deal on your own dyno then thats mere chump change. If I was able to I'd go and help you with it in a second.

The first 2 years I was in business I couldn't get a rig backed up to my garage, and all I had was a 3/4 ton truck and a palet jack. We regularly shipped machines that weighed well over a ton with wooden ramps and 3-4 guys to roll the palet jack up the ramps onto the truck. Just make sure you put a car jack under the back bumper to keep the truck from sagging while you're transitioning from the ramps to the truck. Our ramps were three 2x12's sandwitched together with some carriage bolts.

If the guy has a car lift, we just unloaded a crate with 3 b-series engines, an h and f block, and a tranny or two just in the bottom of the crate into a barn with a car lift. We layed a few pieces of plywood across the car lift to make a platform to lower the crates off the truck.

you're from the trailor park you shouldn't be afraid of a lil redneck engineering.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts with a forklift?
 

unloading those crates onto osb was ------- awesome
