I need to lift the cooker out of its place for my mum. It's sat back into the unit with no space either side
There's a load of room underneath to stick something under. But it needs to be lifted up and over to get it over the lip of the flooring that we have down. We've had 3 of us lift but its that bloody heavy there's no chance.

Any ideas. Preferably that wouldn't involve scratching the floor on any way.

Narrow pallet truck? Mobile vehicle jack?

Unless it's something like an AGA, you need some stronger mates.

I'm pretty sure 3CM does too

Good idea though, should be able to roll it forward on the ball but need something with high enough power to pump it up, not sure if a bike pump would suffice!

Aslong as you don't skip leg day, a bike foot pump will be fine.

Can't drag it as I can't scratch the floor
Was thinking of using a pallet lift tbh but it's getting one off someone and getting it to my house.

Ill post some pictures in a mo.

Use a trolley, slide it in tilt back and drag it out, that's how I got mine out.

Tilt it back using some sort of bar. Drag so back legs scrape floor (only where oven sits to hide anyway) once it's out bit more ask one of your pansy mates to try and lift again

All far too elaborate. Simply lift the thing, if there's a ton of room underneath get someone that isn't scared of laddering their tights to lift it.

You think it's that light? It's not like its a little one shelf oven. It's huge. Made out of stainless with granite each side. There's too much space underneath to fit a skateboard
