transport of a cab (I need the info by tomorrow)

Rudi:


I just convinced my better half that I should go to an auction tomorrow for a bankrupt arcade.  I've got a Dodge Durango. 

Can a standard, fully working cab be placed on its back for transport?  It should fit in the truck with the seats down, but I don't know if it would damage anything.

Any info would be helpful.

I hauled two on their backs down a bumpy, gravel road strapped down to a trailer with no problems whatsoever. Just remember to do a thorough check before and after transport. Make sure everything is secure before so nothing breaks, and make sure everything is secure after before plugging up power.

Lilwolf:

when laying them down be careful.  Sometimes the monitors aren't actually screwed in.  Seen someone lean them over and the CRT flop out and shatter



Stingray:

I drove one home on it's back in the back of an Explorer. With the seats down the hatch was just short of closing, so I had to tie it down.

As stated, make sure nothing inside is loose and check the bottom for tokens, coins, screws or other small metal objects that might find thier way onto a PCB during transport.

One, yes, two.....depends on the wheel wells protruding on the inside of your rear-bed.

Another solution is to haul @$$ down to your local Ryder Truck Rental and get a 20 footer for around $30 all said and done.
