I have made a dolly that can be completely assembled and dissembled around the boiler. The frame sections are just bolted together.<br />
Using a fulcrum (pry bar), the boiler is raised a corner at a time just high enough to slide the angle iron sections under the boiler and then are bolted together. <br />
Using a fulcrum again with blocking, the entire frame with the boiler on it, is raised gradually until the wheels can be put on.<br />
Depending on the grade, using a come-along, chain blocks, rope blocks or pry bar, the dolly can be easily maneuvered. <br />
This frame without the wheels on could be used to slide the boiler down a concrete set of stairs.<br />
Once the boiler is to its desired position, reverse the assembly and you are done. <br />
The Jetstream boiler on this dolly weighs 1,500 lbs and I moved it down a 50% grade by myself!<br />
This is my new spare Jetstream blocked up off the floor. Who knows how long it might sit here.<br /></div>
