.....On how to safely seperate an air compressor from its' shipping pallet. Any and all recommendations welcome !!!!!

David F.

Lift it off with the engine hoist ????
Really dont understand the question....
How big is the compressor?

Check out everything. Look for security guards, cameras, guard dogs etc. Wear dark clothing and a hood, carry bolt cutters, get a friend you can trust and a truck with a lift gate............

Gee Don, I wonder how Chicago got those reps??

When I got my compressor I think I followed Don's advise first then Steps when I got it home.

David the cherry picker works just be careful of the safety cage around the belt/pulley.

Round up 4 buddies with strong backs that owe you a favor, thats what I wound up doing. Mine was standing upright on the pallet and was simply too tall in the back of the pickup to even get a cherry picker over it. We actually separated it from the pallet while on the truck.

I think a friend of my has one.....If he still has it I'll give that a try



I actually have mine already on the ground but still on the pallet in my shop. I used a small utility trailer with a tilting bed to get it inside then used my John Deere LT 166 lawn mower to help position it where I wanted it.

I dont get that....
Since when does one owe a friend a favour.....?
A freind just steps up when needed....
Friends dont keep balance sheets....well not in this country.

Just a figure of speech Steps.........wasn't meant to be literal and yes good friends don't keep track of who does what and how many times they did it either here in this country.
