Hi all
I have just bought my first Drinks vending machine, its a Lucozade bottle vendor, problem is the person i bought it off has sent me a message saying its very very heavy and when i go to collect it i will need a fork lift truck or a tail lift lorry.
I dont have either of these so was hoping for any advice on how you move these machines ?
I have a peugeot expert van, will i get it in there ? if i take a couple of mates would we be able to lift it ?
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
Pete

2 of you and a pallet truck is easiest will need at least 4 if your gonna try and carry it they weigh about 200+ kilos.
Not sure about a peugeot expert they are 6ft tall i move them in a swb transit ok. also if you lie it down dont forget to leave standing upright 24 hours before switching back on again due to oil in compressor.
