Triassic Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 A telehandler? A load of strong mates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitpipe Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Our fitter used a tele-handler and had a crew of 5-6 also. Will never forget the sight of him casually moving 500kg of 4m sliding door held aloft on strops across the site. Was very experienced so knew what he was doing. Almost as nerve wracking as watching him thread the sliders between scaff poles with about 10mm clearance either side. I made sure that I'd paid for installation as part of the contract so if he'd dropped or damaged them, it was up to the supplier to replace !

ProDave Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Our builders handled them all by hand picking them up with those suction cup things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divorcingjack Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 We had a telehandler, 10 burly lads and what looked like a skateboard, although i was assured it wasn't. It was terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 We had no option but use a crane as the telehandler could not get near enough because of the ground conditions. Then had to use a glass boy inside which made life really easy moving 300kg of glass against the spruce wood interior of the windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
