Now for some serious stuff. Between the two of you ingenious fellow threaders, I need a mobile crane set-up. My gen is in the genhouse on the bench. Got her there several years ago with the help of DW. Now, there she sits. If I could back a mobile crane up to the genhouse, the Champion is just inside the door.
Floyd,
How far or where do you need to move the generator? If you only want to get it off of the bench and onto the floor, there are easier (and less expensive) ways. To move it across a building into the back of a PU can present a different challenge (and cost).
Knowing a little bit about your current health situation, the weight of a crane being placed on a PU might not be something easily overcome - meaning, help would be needed in doing an install.
The need. To lift the gen off the bench and out the door for transport about 300 feet, over grass sod, and into the trunk of DW's Volvo. For a trip of 40 miles to the MH storage shed (MH is set up for long term use) No electricty in the shed, not located close by. Kinda had a wild idea of a squirt boom devise from HF installed on one of their heavy duty wagons with folding outriggers attachhed. I could get some help with the move, perhaps, might be the easy way. But then, here is the deal. I wouldn't be able to go out to the genhouse, turn the key start, and hear the little beauty come to life. Sometimes I just do that for fun.:)
Floyd, why not just purchase an additional generator for the MH? Probably cheaper than the cost of a system to lift and transport and a lot more convenient.
Yes, A new gen for the MH remote shed is the right idea. I just had this wild thought of a small crane. buying a new genset keeps me busy reading all the generator threads. The Champion 2000i is the most interesting. But then here comes Dan with his new 'All Power 2000' and that might be worth a look. If it will serve the need for some power tools on the shed lot and be able to also work for operating the Converter/charger and 1100w mircowave in the MH if needed, great.
