Unusual lift for a BK117

[John Eacott]

BK117 lifts? Unusual may be:

An owner of a property in Toorak who had a pool bench made, over a tonne in weight, to be used on rails along either side of the pool. Came the installation and no crane was capable of lifting it in from the street so we took it off the back of a truck the other side of the Yarra River and nipped over to the back yard, fitting the bench nicely into place









Apartments at Falls Creek were due for completion by opening weekend of the ski season, and running late. Between snow showers we lifted in the spa baths to various balconies, no idea how they got on with using them in the winter!




The Heinz factory was decommissioned in Melbourne, and the stainless steel vats were needed to be removed prior to demolition. What better way than with a BK?








A Melbourne fellow whose wife bought some plant pots in Sydney and had them shipped to Melbourne only to find they wouldn't fit into the lift up to their penthouse apartment on St Kilda Road. Easy lift for a JetRanger but they had to be in place for their daughter's 21st next weekend so on the usual premise of being better to seek forgiveness than ask permission we had the truck park in a lane behind the building and netted them up while the truck did a runner.






Many more, but I'll let someone else have a post or three first
