Handling a very heavy steel beam
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. |
