Gonna go pickup my 60 gallon quincy compressor tomorrow that came in. I'm debating on how I should load and unload it. I think it weighs 5-600 pounds, so I was thinking of using my straps I bought and just put a strap or two under the pump/motor base that's welded to the tank and pick it up then just back the trailer under it. Same with unloading and getting it off the pallet, that way it's a one man just with a forklift and quick.
My concern thought is that base that's welded onto the tank may not be beefy enough for that, opinions? Then again the base that holds the motor and pump is pretty much where all the weight is correct? Or does the tank itself make up most of the weight?
