tHEcONCH Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Try smashing it into smaller pieces Or alternatively getting lots of people to help lift it onto a piece of old carpet, then slide it around, or onto a wooden pellet if you are going to put it into he back of a van / truck (rented, of course).

tHEcONCH Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 You could actually cut it into individual sheets and re-assemble on site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 if its 40mm thick (and I have never seen glass that thick) the weight would be 1116kgs Make sure you have your weatbix in the morning wont you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlid7 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 this makes it a bit lighter i think Three of the walls are perspex with one being glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott16 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 i think the 4cm thick is perspex looking at the q's and a's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Don't forget it is in a steel frame - like the guy says, you'll need a crane and a truck - perhaps a big one of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlid7 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 :lol: :lol: :lol: yea but as it is 3 sheets of perspex it is gonna be alot lighter isn't it could it go on a trailer?? the trailer takes up to 1500kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 it would be easy as to move it to my place. LOL Navarre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlid7 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Why's that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I think the real problem would be getting it off the trailer and into your house - plus, you'd spend a dollar or two filling that with hot water and fish :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 The Conch's idea is a good one. you could dissasemble the crane once it arrives and reassemble inside to lift the tank :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tHEcONCH Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hard to tell, but it looks a bit manky around some of the framing - definitely worth inspecting before you bid, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
