Lifting into car

Hi
After enjoying a combined appendix and found hernia during operation, lifting something heavy isn’t the best idea.
Wondered if anyone had made something for loading, unloading into a car. Something you can take apart and take with you.
Aluminium square section either counter lever or block n tackle type affair.
I see the wheel chair lifts but cost.
Thanks

I assume you are talking of the sib weight and bulk packed down at around 40kilo?


If so my thoughts are a skate or even a garage crawler though the wheels may be a bit small on the crawler, thats for moving the bulk around from the car, once at the tailgate or boot, tip it on end smile at a passer by and have half each getting it out is just gravity.
If its the outboard then you can buy frames that assist you to load/unload the motor.

If you are using a SIB from a car it's possible to minimise strain firstly with the lightest air floor SIB you can get away with and similarly a smaller outboard. Of course you can organise how you move both SIB and outboard about to/fro car and where you store it all.

We always have an estate with a low loading lip and flat floor which helps loads.

But there are times despite all this planning when you find you need to lift the weight without risk to health. So I wonder it a setup on a trailer might not suit you better?

I just put a 268kg Suzuki DF250 in the boot of my car, admittedly it was not complete and I used an engine hoist each end to lift the engine in and out. Wouldn't recommend it on a regular basis though!
