Let a crane take the strain you'll be glad you did in the end.
Please don't use a cherry picker for lifting anything other than personnel
and small work equipment, it's illegal and deadly dangerous. You have been
warned!

Hi,

We are having work done on our house and it involves a big and heavy
steel beam to support most of the back of the house. It is probably
about 1000kg and 7m long (300mm x 300mm).

The builder and I are trying to figure out the best/ easiest/ most
cost effective way of getting the beam from the lorry at the front of
the house to the back of the house then up onto the steel columns that
will be supporting it. The beam will be at first floor level (i.e.
approx 2.5m from the ground).

Any thoughts on how to resolve this would be gratefully appreciated.

thanks in advance for your help.

Lee.
