Default unloading quickbuild crate

When my QB fuselage and wings arrived in Dec via Roadway truck, I had 6 neighbors and 4 roller 2'x2' dollies to unload and roll into my hangar. Fortunately, the Roadway truck had a hydro tailgate and the unload and roll into the hangar went well. It really did take all 4 dollies to move the fuselage in the hangar. It is really big!!! Good luck - Tom

Hopefully you'll figure out how to unload it. I uncrated mine in the driveway and a friend and I carried the canoe into my shop without any trouble. That thing is very light by itself. The wings are even lighter. You'll be amazed that something for light can take 6 G's and weigh so little.

Gentleman I am starting a transport company to deliver airplane kits. We will be using trailer's that have a deck hieght only 18 inches off of the ground. They also will have a ramp that will allow us to roll the QB crate on dollies right into your garage or hanger. This will eliminate the need for ramps,fork lifts or dock pick ups.

Our service will start in April. We will be advertising on vansairforce.net the month before we start. Our initial service area will be the 11 western states. You can contact me off of the list for quotes. Our pricing will be comparable to the carriers that Vans uses.
