ToughButterCup Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Our 7 meter Glulam is only some 160 kilos in weight. The original plan was to get a crane and pop it in that way. But 160 kilos, I mean .... 160... that's just a bit heavier than me after I have had a serious curry. So, thinking about a telehandler or pulleys or something. Thinking Out Of The Box anyway. Yes, I know, thinking's dangerous. But 160 kilos for Gods sake. 'S nowt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I’ve put in heavier glulams than that with just two of us. Just need to make sure you have something to rest it on in stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell griffiths Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Two scaffold towers, one either end, bump it up and rest on a chunk of timber, go to other end and bump up that end, raise scaffold tower by inserting another transom, bump up again and add another transom. Cost, nothing time 2 hours. Crack on son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
