Well, the first car shell was ready to load onto the trailer to dispose of... but, the first problem, how do you get a shell, with no wheels onto a trailer??
Well, simple like this:
The car was originally on the floor on stands.... So I wondered the shell must only be a ton or less.. My hoist is a 2 ton Max load, with a 7 ton ram.
So I jacked the side of the car up, and got the hoist half under the car.. wrapped a chain around the roof at the front door area and had a go... the car lifted and centralised itself over the hoist! It was air bourne!
I then firstly backed the trailer under the car as far as I could go untill the rear axle met the hoist then let it down. It sat on the edge of the trailer. I then moved the hoist along - forwards - a bit and lifted again, while at the same time attached a ratchet strap to the front so when it was air bourne I wheeld in the strap which moved it forward.. Did this untill we were on fully!
Just need to remove the boot lid and cut the roof out, and load the car with more scrap parts and off we go!
