Two furniture dollys, one under each end of the tower. Lay down plywood in
advance along the route (on the ground) so the dolly wheels rotate smoothly
and don't sink into the yard. When back end of rear dolly clears the
plywood, pick up that piece and lay it down again in front of the forward
dolly. Two people can move a very heavy tower a hundred feet or so in maybe
15 minutes this way...I know I have, lots of times. -WB2WIK/6

Subject: [TowerTalk] Taking delivery of crankup tower
Any recommendations on how to take a crankup tower off the delivery truck
and transport to the back yard without a crane or 10 strong men? They are
heavy and need support on both ends and the middle to prevent damage. There
is less than 10 feet (probably closer to 7 or 8 feet ) between the house and
side fence so transporting it to the backyard on a car carrier (or similar)
is not an option.
