You may be able to tow it in low box no winch needed

solarman216 · 15-12-2012, 17:56

Good fun winching the van onto it's final resting place, my mate's Warrior got it to here before loosing traction, also we had to have a good position to unhook him as no way would it go all the way up connected, the scaffold boards would not have stayed there

solarman216 · 15-12-2012, 17:58

the 4 polls held, just

solarman216 · 15-12-2012, 17:58

solarman216 · 15-12-2012, 18:01

final resting place, Rick

zippy656 · 15-12-2012, 18:01

Looks fun, i thought my drive was steep

That's epic.

In the third image one of the vans wheels is off the ground!

Do you get more pull from using a blockand tackle at the top?

Regards

Alan

solarman216 · 15-12-2012, 18:32

yep it was great fun, for me, all I had to do was press buttons on the winch control, for the others I think it was quite hard work, but then they have youth on there side, Rick

yes one block at the top reverses the pull from my winch motor then 2nd block on the van doubles the winch power, Rick

Abit of a pain if they go away alot or is it staying there as a garden feature?

no it is a permanent feature, lots of new fence panels laying on the ground ready to be erected round it, Rick
