Hi Modellers. I have purchased a "Pickfords" conflat, and I was thinking about "how do you remove it from the wagon?" Simple, use a crane, but what type? One possibility is a "Vollmer Crane" but maybe a bit OTT . Can any member offer advice on "Vollmer" or an alternative. all the best Kevin ____________________ Staying on the thread Kevin. |

Sounds like a routine job for your yard crane Kevin. Plenty to chose from, Wills for example. Cheers, Bill  ____________________ At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born |

Hi Kevin, Here is a link to assist you http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/64948-traditional-container-traffic-photos-from-the-nrm/ via RM web. If empty they can be lifted with a heavy yard crane; there were some lugs at the top edge (and strengthening strips diagonally on the sides). Into those lugs a chain would fit and lift it off the conflat. The link shows the chains etc. Yours Peter. |
