Hauling Uphill
Hi Greg,
Some useful information would be to know the relation of the lot being cleared to the house and to the road or wherever you plan to use a hauling out point. I do know you said no vehicle. I'm assuming you are either thinking a traditional vehicle like a truck/car/suv, or that its very very steep. How far in distance does the wood have to be hauled etc... If two guys can carry a box up this incline, it can't be that steep else they would loose their footing trying to maintain balance with the load and walk uphill. A year ago, my friend and I used my 4wd ATV to haul wood out of a gulley. We had to cut the wood down in size to fit the 4 wheeler, but it worked. They can climb some amazing stuff when you know how. Another method would be like James Barley described. Another method of block and tackle if its very steep is a outrigger or boom. At the top of your hill put in a 8 x8 post and rig up a boom to it with a block and tackle. Then using ropes you can hoist the load up and swing it over at the top. This would be for a very sheer incline though. "Greg" wrote in message om... Hi. We'll be cutting down trees, removing overgrown brush, etc. from about 4000 sq. ft. of our downsloping lot. I've rented a large green waste container, but can anyone suggest an efficient, cost-effective way to get the stuff we cut uphill to the container at street level. It's not possible to get any type of vehicle behind our house. Right now, we're just thinking of putting as much as we can in either boxes or heavy duty plastic bags, and having two people carry one of these up, then repeat (and repeat...) I'll have two other guys helping me. Thanks for any help. |
