Rib off trailer at home

[Cumbria]

Hi

How easy is it to do , any issues to watch for , any kit needed and how easy is it to get back on.

It's a 4m rib with 40 Yamaha ?

Need it off as trailer needs servicing and company want it off .

Had a double hip replacement so i struggle with lifting

Thx in advance ..

Roller trailer? Unbraked?

Trailer servicing company? Want the boat off to arrive an unbraked trailer? Find a new company to service it ....... totally daft


But if you have a lawn and roller trailer it’s very easy don’t “need” anything but a couple of bits of wood will be enough


In fact 4 strapping young lads would Pick it up and walk it off the trailer .....

Ive taken plenty of boats off trailers at home. I do it on level ground and leave the trailer attached to the vehicle. I unhitch the boat from the winch and chain and push the boat back until it is reaching the pivot point. I put a couple of old 4x4 tyres under the stern to support it before driving a few metres forward and placing two more tyres either side to support it off the ground. I then drive the trailer completely from under the boat.

It's unbreaked and it's a roller trailer.

Get 3 of your mates & lift it off.

I got an 8m off onto stands. It was very procarious. Wouldn’t want to do it again and it took ages bit by bit. Move stands etc

Crumbs talking about making a meal out of it just jack it up replace the the hubs and drop it down no need to get under it all! A 1 ton axle stand is more than enough to support while doing the work.......
