Local Hiab Company

[JawsOrca]

Does anyone know? Can suggest a local Hiab company working around the broads?

It needs to be a Hiab as there is no crane available.

(I've got GMR Online that's all).

Lincoln it says on the lorry so not that far Alan?

I do know that Jones Boatyard at St Ives and Viking Seamaster use HIABs for deliveries.

You could give them a ring and see if you can get a number.

You do need an experience operator for lifting boats because without a frame the two strops coming in to a single hook cause constriction. This is fine at the bow end but not desirable if pulling in on a canopy or wheel house towards the stern.

 Iain. I guess the more local the cheaper they will be. (I'll call these). 

 Chris, I think GMR Online (who I've already spoken to) is the one Jones use.  Just getting a quote but it would be good to get more than one quote to know if it's expensive. You certainly have a point on the experiance. We have used two (from down here) before and experience certainly shows.

I thought Orca was at St Olaves can you not just motor her round or am I missing something.

Doug.

[JawsOrca]

Don't worry Doug.. I've been vague.. She received damage (several months back now) and for legal reasons I've not gone into too much detail online. But the lights at the end of the tunnel.. and we need to get a hiab transporter to move her from the hardstanding up to her new home

Abby did my last big move if you have no joy

[JawsOrca]

Thanks Trevor.. Would you recommend them? was the price reasonable?  

[BrundallNavy]

Have you tried Tony Tug Boats.

Not sure but I think the trailer is designed to load without lifting, could always launch from the trailer at Wayford.

Hi Alan we used GMR on to move our last boat from the Thames 27ft Capriole.

I can definitely recommend them, Chris is a very nice guy and well priced.

They bought that boat from scarbourgh for me and then to the broads, and have launched one for me from the quay at Wells harbour, it was a while ago but i think by milage it was about 340 for 100 miles, but don t quote me on it! service second to none, can,t fault them

[JanetAnne]

I recognise that Lorry....

It was still Fred and Peggy back then and I was one of the last jobs before they sold the business to Chris. Chris's first job for us was £100 cheaper than Fred wanted three months earlier!!

[JawsOrca]

I can never get hold of you Jon!!.. Have you got a a mobile? (it's the putting it in the water bit that's the issue! need a hiab this side.. so whilst I'm doing that I may aswell be a bit a bit lazy!)

Nope, can't come up with that plan then. Sorry.

[Springsong]

Chris at GMR is really very good at his job, very spatially aware and has eyes in the back of his head. He moved SP for us from Martham to Stalham, we couldn't get through Potter,  he was I thought quite reasonable .
