Moving a Static Van

solarman216 · 18-10-2019, 20:41

This is it, but needed to turn it round in a confined space, did it by backing it up to the fence with the Patrol at an angle, unhooked the motor and used the winch, sorry no pics of that as all concentration needed on the job

solarman216 · 18-10-2019, 20:42

Backing it into the space but a bit tight

solarman216 · 18-10-2019, 20:44

The other side

solarman216 · 18-10-2019, 20:47

Final resting place, tomorrow will be the task of leveling and blocking it up and connecting the services, they are all in place just need connecting at each end, Rick

Wow, suppose really not that bad on e you’ve got it moving. Is that on your land or a job for someone?

solarman216 · 18-10-2019, 21:27

My land, it was in the way for turning vehicles with trailers on plus it got the sun in the summer making it unbearable, low box sorted it even then could not let the clutch up fully as would move too fast, wheels have 8 ply tyres at 70 psi and once on its wheels they looked flat, did not want to blow a tyre, good fun though, if you enlarge the first pic you can see the NS tyre, Rick

That's some serious maneuvering there Rick - well done.

Banshee · 19-10-2019, 13:12

Nice one Rick!!!!! Try doing that without a 4x4

I'll never not have one whether it be a Terrano, Patrol or something else

solarman216 · 19-10-2019, 21:46

Would not have been possible given the small uphill grade we had to manage, although it could of been done with a winch, but who has a winch if not on a 4 x 4? anyway got it all leveled up on blocks today, just the services to connect now, Rick

jims-terrano · 19-10-2019, 23:21

Sorry about being nosey but what do you use it for Rick, is it a workshop office type space?

solarman216 · 19-10-2019, 23:48

Rented out to a young couple as an escape from life's pressures, tranquility down here, Rick

jims-terrano · 20-10-2019, 09:19

That sounds great Rick

I need more drive space might have to take a leaf out of your book

oh always wanted to move one. as a kid when at static site would always
be on look out for vans coming on a lorry, typically a swb landy following
to do shunting then grabbing a ride back to yard on lorry.

at a friends site they use a tractor with tow ball on front loader. quite how
they get vans between each other due to size and minimal gaps i dont know.
