<html><head></head><body>Thanks for these comments - I ended up crating it - used some 3/4 plywood to make a base, top and two ends, connected with 2" angle iron bolted through and some thinner ply for the sides. Gearbox bolted to end (four boots in bellhousing) and rear mount bolted to base. Finally a pair of 4x2's for feet so it can be forked. Came in just under 70kg.<br>Neil<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 2 June 2020 16:17:33 BST, Jeff Scarbrough <fishplate@gmail.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<div dir="ltr">Regarding pallet size: If it's too small to grab with a fork lift or pallet jack, you're going to incite some harsh language.

<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">I'm not sure what size you are talking
about, but here are some ideas.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Anything over 75 or 80 lbs should be
palletized. You can make a pallet just larger than the unit.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">I simple way to do it is to find a hard
sized box (wood or metal.) then bolt the gearbox to the pallet and
the box. Go from the bottom of the top layer of the pallet, through the
box's floor, and into mount points on the gearbox.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">I hope this makes sense. I would
also cut out some cardboard pryrminds to tape to the top so then don't
stack other items on top.</font>
<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Let me know if you have any other quesitons.</font>
