How to transport a carrier

[jeff davis]

Pick up my carrier and moved it to the farm

... that a common skip truck is absolutely ideal for that, and not usually as pricey as a crane either.

Hiab crane truck 60 bucks an hour or free if you work for the company

Anyone actually use a skip truck, or any other form of Carrier transporter we might learn from?

I've seen some carriers struggle to drive onto transporters or trailers over the years.

Skip Truck I imagine is a roll back or flat bed tow truck.?

I have a friend who once had a Brockway Bridge Erector, which was the forerunner of the skip truck, in operation. He used it to carry his Weasel.

Hi, This is how I transport my vehicles. Carrier has no problems what so ever to climb the ramps even with the added weight of the 6 pr. The gun weighs in at 1150 kilo's.

Here's a variation on a theme. Dirk is in the skip business, you can see he used one for the Loyd. First when it was little more than rubbish, really:

But also a useful means of transportation after it was restored:
