Need to hire a van to get at least 4 machines to NLP, probably 5. I'm assuming a SWB Transit will do the job, but there's that dangerous word: assuming.
My local hire place will do a SWB "Transit Custom Semi-Hi Top" with the following dimensions:
Internal
Length: 2440mm
Width: 1762mm
Height: 1400-1750mm
The variation in height is due to the van being either standard, semi- or hi-top. But even if it's standard 1400mm should just be high enough to stand my machines tombstone style (I will ask for the semi-hi top though).
But assuming a tombstoned pin has a footprint that is roughly 750x750mm (backbox width x rear cab depth plus backbox depth) would I be able to pin 6 pins in? The 1762mm seems wide enough for 2 x 750 = 1500mm and the 2440mm length is enough for 3 x 750 = 2250mm.
But I know all the theory in the world is nothing compared to actually having done it!
