I have a 360 lbs piece of plate steel, 6' x 4' in size. I need to lift it up about 38" high, then roll a work table underneath it, and then lower it down. I was thinking my L3400 would be up to the task. I have the Kubota factory bucket on here, but have never tried using my bucket like this before.
The bucket has no hooks or attachment points which are made for lifting, but I thought I can just wrap a heavy chain around the bucket. I don't mind drilling holes in the steel plate. I was thinking either 1 in the center, or one on each corner. I have some eye bolts I could temporarily install in it to use as lift points.
Is this going to work, or am I nuts. Anyone have any better ideas?
I'm way out in the middle of nowhere and am only anticipating one other person being with me, and they're not particularly strong.
