I suspect a Jerdan would cost too much for the trip.
I did use twin-cable wreckers before to lift the safe and then I'd back my pickup underneath it as the wrecker can't get it high enough to go over the sides.
But I don't have the pickup truck anymore, just my van and I doubt that they could boom the safe into the back of the van.
I wonder if that style wrecker has been antiqued already?

the pickup idea is good.
I somehow think booming the safe into your van is a bad idea...
how heavy is the safe?

Heavy enough that the wheels brake pallet slats.
I'd have to put a steel plate across the floor of the van.
My van's floor is plastic 'plywood' over light gauge square tube joists.

The roofer finished a 30x80 clerestory yesterday and left the bottom two courses of siding off the copper flashing.
Wouldn't just dry it in with a strip of membrane for me.
Going to be lots of running up and down a 36' ladder.
