boiler removal

You didnt say if it wa sin the basement or main floor. But what I have done in the past is recruit a buddy and his wrecker. Drop the boom as far as it can, run the cable down the stairs, and then use black pipe as slides. Then drag ti up. You have a twin winch boom, it will come with ease or use a block and tackle to double the single winch. Then we either let it rest on the wheel lift and chain binder it in the back of the truck and drive it down. Or in extreme cases like yours, walk it over and drop it on a trailer or drag it on the trailer and go. !5k is a bit much for a 1 ton wrecker, but u find like a f450 made for school busses you should be good. Torch is last resort and I would highly recommend a man paid on fire patrol cause sometimes torchign can start little fires And you wont know it till ya engulfed. Trust me, been there, done that. Think the heaviest boiler we yanked was 21k in one shot using a single winch with a block tackle. And then used his rollback to move it to yard, as the f450 literally the nose came off the ground trying to lift it up on the trailer.
