Post pictures, it'll be good to see how it fits. Travelling will be easy, its getting it in and out that's the interesting part.

Don't forget that vid of a guy who actually has a woodburner fitted in his 940?! Have you got nivomats/self levelling on the rear?

Yes, I remember that one Laney
 James it is an Invicta 'Bradford' red enamelled job. Looks nice. I have a much smaller Invicta one myself. That I bought in Nantes, and it came home in the back of Tank, some 50+ miles..... This one is only 10 mins from the chaps house along country lanes. I have ratchet straps, so will secure it if it goes in. Supplier has a mini-fork lift to get it in. Unloading will be the 'interesting ' part...... Looks likely to be tomorrows job....

Fork lifts and lifting tailgates aren't a good match either............

The weight itself is no problem, but the main difficulty with a single heavy object is simply sliding it in without damaging anything.
I'd put down a large sheet of thin plywood and then spread a blanket. The pallet will slide more easily on it. |

Best Laid plans and all that......
....... It never happened. On the pallet it was a few millimetres to high to go in..... The chap tried to put it in minus the pallet. It went in... but I feared the little feet in each corner would probably go straight through the wood deck without the pallet to spread the weight.
So, Stove 1 - Tank 0. Went to hire a van from the supermarket, but needed passport and household bill etc etc....which neither of us had.... So wood stove collection Part 2 will be tomorrow...
