Hi,

Not sure which bit of the forum, if any, is the right place to ask - but here goes......

I need to get a 200KG stove from Glasgow to Devon, where i am. The problem is that it isn't on a pallet.

I have found a man/van team that can get it on a pallet for a freight-team to collect, but they aren't very interested in strapping/wrapping/checking all the bits are there.

I am therefore wondering about going up myself in a rented van. Do you think something weighing 200KG 62w x 73d x 136h could be "tilted" from a sack truck into a Berlingo-type van? Or does it need a Luton with a tail-lift?

Any (helpful!) comments massively appreciated!

Replies appreciated - going mad staring at my computer trying to work out how to do this!

It isn't a conventional stove, it is a massive thing that runs central heating too.
