how to lift a 100kg Arcade Machine onto some decking ?

Post by s8n »

hi RB scene , i need some concepts on how to lift a 100kg Arcade Machine onto some decking.

I am thinking of using a Trolley for example......

Im not strong enough to lift the Trolley onto the decking i need some ideas on how to do that. Once its on the decking i can then move it into the sliding door and into the house.

A jack system would seem logical where it has a plate , i could jack the Trolley to a certain height and then move it onto the decking.


i look forward to your ideas

get a second person
If its a fiberglass candy cab they are pretty light and 2 people can lift it easily.

hi guys some great suggestions there.........


the Cab will be delivered by a Freight Company they may do all the work for me im unsure....... although the decking is not new its old so the delivery personnel may dump the Cab and leave me to figure it out as it could pose a safety risk.

So im thinking of ways i can get it inside in case if im left alone with it......

Get a mate to come over just in case. Maybe two.

Beer, food and arcade gaming? Shouldn't be that hard.

hi again , unfortunately i dont have any friends but i could ask my sisters boyfriend as a last resort id prefer not to though.

I am thinking of trying a suggestion that was mentioned earlier by jfrost

checkout what i found on eBay......

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Aluminium-Po ... 3cb801a468

ive been thinking on and off for hours how to do this and i have come to this

use that ramp so it rests between the decking and ground ( the decking is about 22cm high so the angle isnt too steep )

then slipping a Trolley under the Cab and tilting it almost flat horizontally and pulling it up the ramp , mum will be around so she can help.

i have been looking at winches as well which would be perfect but dont know too much about them apart from what ive seen on TV and eBay.

I have a Cab already in the house that i got back in 2007 it weighs about 100kg it would be perfect as a stable thing the winch cable could wrap around. If im correct a hand winch or something similar can pull heavy things when connected to something secure.


hopefully i get some more insight tomorrow from RB members im hitting the sack

That's a pretty awesome looking ramp for wheelchair or other use.
