I do not know the name of the bollard. I will probably go the the Redevelopment Authority and try and pull the original design plans again. I do need a ships anchor.
Decided to pour the slab today. 6 inches thick, with #4 each way ought to do it. I’m no rod buster.
I have moved several things like this for free. I helped a buddy move a double bollard (probably the same weight) from the ground up to his raised brick/concrete deck.
You say that you can get it to your house. So, once there, just lay it on a single or double or triple layer of scrap plywood. Drill (or just chop) a hole through the plywood. Run a rope or chain through the hole and drag it into place by block and tackle or SUV or 10 thirsty neighbors. If you use thirsty neighbors it will cost you a cheep case of beer or two.
Using a pallet jack, you could get it off a trailer with a little excitement and once you got into position you use a smaller steel frame and floor jacks(car jacks) to lift it off the pallet. It may take 4 jacks for stability but it could easily be a 1-2 man show and you’d only have to lift it inches off the pallet to get it set. Or you could get it close and burn the pallet out from under it! That’d make for a good story anyways. I wonder if who ever filled it with concrete put any goodies inside first…hmmmm
I’d say flag down a mechanic with a service truck with a crane. My brothers is running GPS and I believe most big companies now do the same. But maybe one would be willing to make a side hustle over the weekend.
Do you have a good place at your house to back a truck up to that stabilizers on a truck won’t crack up your driveway?
Awesome piece of history for a yard ornament! Won’t have to worry about a crack head stealing it to take to the scrape yard.
