Will. K. Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hi, I've been looking at acquiring a 25lb or 50lb little giant trip hammer when time permits and I find one within a reasonable driving distance. I had a few questions to make sure I am prepared to move and lift one when the time comes. Does anyone know the net weight of a 25lb and 50lb L.G. Any advice on lifting/moving them? Is it ok to lift them by wrapping a strap under the top of the "C" part of the frame or is there a better way to go about it? Thanks, Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 There is link on here..I think it is from the opening page that tells exact weight of the lg hammers. The 50 is roughly 1800 lbs We lifted mine into a trailer with a tractor with a front bucket to bring it home. Then had one of the older vehicle wreckers come out and lift it our he tied it to the back of the truck and drove it to the back of my yard and boomed it into place...Then he wanted $20 lol He left with alot more than that....

Finnr Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 The fifty is roughly 1800 pounds and the 25 is around 900. We manhandled my fifty on to a car hauling trailer and near did ourselves in doing so. But that hammer sure looks sweet in ti's new home!!!

Mike Turner Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I had my little buddy John Deere lift mine off my trailer and placed in my shop man he sure is strong . Be-careful if you are moving the 50# hammer that is heavy and you can strain yourself pretty easy so get help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
