I need a cherry picker...... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Zumo · 04-01-2004, 12:00 PM

Anyone have one I can use? I guess I can rent one.

hambone1958 · 04-01-2004, 12:03 PM

If only you were closer I'd lean you mine.

jmanz69 · 04-01-2004, 12:26 PM

I rented one a while back before I had one. It was about $40 for the day. Much less than buying one. Plus, you don't have to store it.

67chevemall · 04-01-2004, 12:32 PM

Yes I was tired of renting so I purchased one in Dec. But man storing it is a pain its' always in the way!

I got one a while back from Pep Boys for $126.00 out the door.
It folds up real nice and does not take up hardly any room. Nice hoist! You might look at Pep Boys before you rent.

Got mine ( a Larin ) at Tractor Supply Just over $100.00 as I recall

subfitter · 04-01-2004, 07:29 PM

bought mine at pepboys also-119 +tax(still on sale)-takes very little room as it folds up

jmanz69 · 04-01-2004, 07:44 PM

Mine folds up too, but it still takes up space. It's at a friends house right now. He wanted it for his 65 Mustang. I kinda like him storing it for me. I don't have enough room in my garage to walk around right now, and my wife won't let me build a new one. Guess I'm gonna have to actually put this truck together if I want room.

Mine comes apart and stacks in the corner very nicely. Came with a engine stand that also comes apart...

Zumo · 04-02-2004, 06:30 PM

Cool. Fold away? I may have to look in to that. Thanks guys.

Longhorn Man · 04-02-2004, 06:38 PM

If you rent, and you have another vehicle you can tow with, have your engine ready to hook up and jerk out. I like hookin the hoist up, remove 2 tranny bolts, and 2 motor mount bolts, and pull that sucker out.
If you ask about it, most rental places will have a deal where it is 1/2 price or something if you return it in a couple hrs.

Tree limb and a chain fall works well and a chain fall doesn't take up much room.
