chubb safe no32

[Gary Stephenson]

It looks like they picked the wagon with the highest bed possible 8-) . I still move some of mine like that, although with a steel ramp with roller bearings welded on the sides.

Give me a lever long enough, and something to rest it on and I shall bend the lever!

Snap, I'm glad you said that Gary as that was our only way of ever doing it!

Chubby,put your feet up and take things easy- if the lever is that long it will already be bending under its own weight. Sorted!

Scoff as you may at our two battens (apparently they’re known as deals in the South) but at least there was never any danger of the safe slipping far back down on the wood if the winch ratchet or wire rope were to malfunction. Steel on steel sounds pretty dodgy to me on the slope.

Tom, there was never a third batten. The small section between the battens was to stop the safe from grounding on the road as it was tipped off the pallet on to the battens.

Anybody, as a matter of interest, how, to your knowledge were safes handled up flight of stairs, straight or curled, cantilevered or otherwise, before the current prohibitive legislation?

There was no scoffing from me safeman, what I meant was I was relieved that Gary admitted he still uses that old school method as that was our way of doing it as well, for about another 50 years after your photo...
