Getting a baler into a curtain sider

[Dman2]

Have sold one of our round balers and is getting picked up to go to Poland in a curtain sider.
Anyone around me have a loading ramp i could use please.
Buyer is willing to pay to get it loaded but needs to be fairly local

Or any other ideas on how to get it on the wagon
Not really got the hight to lift it on

The local heavy transport garage lifted my Welger conventional baler off the lorry with a heavy duty forklift. I don't know the details but apparently they make them to handle up to 48 tonnes at least! Maybe phone around? The lift cost me £30 and I towed it home behind the Landrover.

The issue won't be getting it on, the issue will be fitting it in around all the other gear they'll have on the lorry already!

They usually have ramps on the lorry .

If you had a earth bank he could back into, taper it off so you can reverse up, or a local loading bay?
8 foot is the usual curtain back door width, but worth contacting the driver ...........

I used fork extensions and placed them in between the belts and loaded it through the rear doors

Dig a hole with a sloping base (a ramp in the ground) reverse lorry into hole and back it in with a tractor or push it in with a telescopic loader.
Done this myself several times. Much safer than some wobbly ramps that are not up to the job.

You can load the bloody thing
You seem to be good at dodgy loads

Got the opposite problem, spent the day trying to make a lorry fit into a (scrap) baler

Is it on wide wheels sometimes they come on steel wheels to make it narrow enough to fit in

shame you got on so well, looked like a excellent ramp before you chopped it up

Isn’t there any dealers close by that have ramps

 

[Dman2]

Isn’t there any dealers close by that have ramps

think that is probably the sensible thing to do

Bit extreme to buy a second handler just to load the baler though.

 

[mogman]

Not much help but this is how I do it

Load onto my trailer then fold the ramps up, then into the trailer

Be careful going from loader type on ramps to a wagon
It may b obvious but if ur driving sumin heavy on tailgate ramps up in the air , unsupported, bad things can happen.
A Muppet mate was in to much of a rush to upload his new ish nh t7 of haulers flat bed , backed his lowloader to it , drive from one to tuther , . T7 is heavier on very end of ramps that the reno hichted to the lowloader.
Crash bang , hole in plastic t7 fuel tank, diesel everywhere, big bollocking.
All to save 5 mins while driver came to manuver wagon to there ramps.
I think thick end over 1k for tank to be fitted.....

Is this the Machinery& Infrastructure equivalent thread of 'How to Remove a Dead Horse'

Just sayin'

buy or make a drawbar hitch for the telehandler. You'll use it a million times more than you'd realise.
Far safer and easier to push trailed things with handler than try to reverse with tractor
