wonder if the pallet guys left it on because they couldn't lift it off? lol check out the picture, I had to go it alone out here at my age and used redneck technology to get it off the dreaded "pallet mount".

my engine hoist would not go high enough to center the chain. the compressor wanted to really swing out even lifting a little. so being alone I strapped it to my truck hitch, and the other strap to the wall. worked perfect. came straight up just enough to kick the "shipping pallet only" out from under it and take it to the burn pile.


(please notice the 12 bolt posi marks in the shop. I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning. smells like victory!)

NOPE! I have a fork lift, so taking it off would have been a simple process. Your pallet is definitely a shipping pallet & I would not have left mine on that either. The pallet mine is still on after 20+ years is much smaller & lower to the ground using stronger boards. Sorry no pictures.

God Bless
