1 ton engine crane - new last year £80 ONO Nr Wigan

[c_lee]

Last year I bought a new 1 ton engine crane to use during the Auto box repair on my V70 and as the V70 has done over 1,200 miles now since the repair I am putting the crane up for sale.

See http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=213212

It has only been used whilst removing and refitting the gearbox on two occasions and is as new.

I am looking for about £80 ONO for it and it is collection only.

It does dismantle for transporting.

This page shows the hire cost of a 500kg engine crane:

Before I did the repair on my car I decided it made more sense to buy a new crane and then sell it once the job was complete.

In that way I wasn't time limited for the use of a crane.

Please PM me if interested.

Thought I'd advertise here first but if there is no sale here I will eBay it in a couple of weeks time.

Thanks - Colin

If I was closer I'd have that. As you say, better way of doing it than hiring! Likewise the next person will probably do the same, engine rebuilds rarely happen in a weekend, more like 3 months!

I will take this off your hands....................... but wont be able to do it until Sunday as I'm on a F L T course all week and watching an amateur boxing contest in the club next door on Saturday afternoon.
If someone else wants it and can collect before then feel free to let them have it. If acceptable then please pm me your address and contact number. Cheers Steve.

For anyone interested in buying the crane who might not be able to collect soon - once sold I will PM you all quickly to avoid you making a wasted journey.

If you wish to secure it exclusively for you awaiting collection ( only if within 4 weeks ), please offer to make a £20 non returnable deposit by paypal.

If I receive a deposit I will then mark it as sold awaiting collection.

But I would then definitely expect collection and payment of balance within 4 weeks.

Thanks - Colin
