Hi what weight is a 10ft gang slat.
Will my tractor loader lift it.

Worst case say solid slab. 3.05x1.2x.18m. Density of concrete 2.4??? So 1.6t. Prob couple 100kgs less.

Hope my maths is right.

What tractor loader do you have? Mine lifts them ok

 

[jamesy]

12ft gang slat from solway is 1200kg according to sticker on side

Depends on what tractor and loader it is, a mf35 and loader will struggle but most modern tractors and loaders should lift it, I would guess they are around the 1t mark.

As long as it'll lift it off your toe you'll be right.

Replaced a slatted floor (single slats) with 10ft gangs carried them in with ih 885 and loader.

Was it a pump access slat?

 

[Boohoo]

Can't give an exact answer but it's definitely not going to be 2 ton. I've lifted a couple of 10ft safety gang slats, the ones with the access hole for mixing, with the loader on our David Brown 996 and 1.25tons is it's limit.
