How do "lift" your 1200 lbs MEP803 without a forklift??

[Bmxenbrett]

Just drag it..they dont call them skid mounted for no reason. This is how mine landed where it is now and I have a tractor with a loader

Generator was delivered today, pallet jack was an electric type, unable to load on the steel cart, however, we have a business acquaintance with a bobcat w/forks. Will take pics as it happens. On a side note, this 803A is in perfect condition, only 100.4 hours, Hope I picked wisely.

My MEP803 will arrive this week, it's going to be unloaded off the truck using a tail lift and hand dolly then placed in the driveway. It's my problem getting it where I want it, Question is.... how do you folks lift up & move your generator around the yard, to the garage..etc. It weights' 1200 lbs, living in Florida, ground soft and in a residential area, do you hire a folklift/driver to move it to where it needs to be? Need some ideas or directions to procure/hire a forklift to pick it up and place it on a heavy duty steel cart. Need fresh items???? I'm on a time schedule for sure!!

Thanks guys!

I hire a wrecker ... tow truck with a flat bed.

They just winch it on the flat bed and then slide it off where you want it.
