I'm about to pull the trigger on a big Planer Thicknesser, which has a cast iron top and weighs close to 200kg. I'm slightly concerned about my ability to get the thing up these concrete steps (and into the big shed not in old photograph but now existing at back of garden). Anyone have any suggestions on how to get it up? I can recruit a friend but I have doubts I (a skinny former cyclist with a flakey back) and a mate would succeed? I'm guessing it will be delivered on a pallet and in a plywood box but I don't know.
