[TowerTalk] Taking delivery of crankup tower

[Bob Smith]

I second the motion for the furniture dollies.  I've got two that I 
moved my LM-470 from the
backyard to the driveway and back again.  Just use the plywood to lay 
in front of the dollies
path and roll it.  I can move my LM-470 by myself , if need be, but 
two guys can move it
real easy.

As to getting it off the truck, it's kinda up to the driver.  He has 
to deliver it to you.  You could
find a tow truck operator that could use his boom to move it off the 
truck and on to the ground
for the price of a tow call to your house (call him ahead of time and 
ask if this is ok).  Maybe
you could use your AAA card and have him write it up as a 'tow'. 
hehe  always looking for a
better and cheaper way.

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.
