foxy bingo Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 ok mate I was going to offer me and my 7.5 ton truck but it sounds like we won,t get it on sorry mate but good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Hire truck was my first thought,and easy to hire self drive. but too high load bed and a lorry lounted crane would be a nightmare,probably a road closure.Would be the quickest too. As it is I can back the trailer up to the door as there is 4.5m of space between the back of the pavement to the building. Thanks for the offer,thanks to everyone..Will post a pic in a mo.

al4x Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Glad you go it sorted but a Fourtrack would tow that 3.5T gross trailer weight.....Tis a beast It would very slowly, one thing about that weight is it will show up any problems with the tow vehicle very fast.

four-wheel-drive Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Just out of interest is that safe not a bit over the top to keep a couple of shoguns in. :whistling: P/S any chance of a loan.

NIGHT SEARCHER Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Just out of interest is that safe not a bit over the top to keep a couple of shoguns in. :whistling: P/S any chance of a loan. I think a two car garage would be better to keep a couple of SHOGUNS in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Just out of interest are second hand safes very expensive I now that new ones are not cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Not dear at all,this one will cost more to move than buy,the better they are the more they cost. I have a few that I keep various things in,Some I got for just the moving cost.This is a bit specialist and would be circa 4k from a dealer due to its rating plus delivery of course.

four-wheel-drive Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) I remember years ago when I was young back in the 50s there was a gents cloths shop in the town that I lived in and I remember when it closed down my mum and me went in for something in the sale. I think at one time the place must have been a bank as it had a huge walk in safe with about a 5 inch thick steel door on it somehow I could not see that shop making enough money to warrant having a safe like that but perhaps they was selling bootleg fags and booze on the side. I have always been fascinated with locks I only wish that I could have learned to be a locksmith when I was young .
