  • This was my first solo hot tub move. Loading an 8' Cal Spa onto a trailer all by my lonesome. Im sure if I were to do the same move by myself today, I would do a couple of things differently. Check out my other hot tub moves. If this video was helpful to you, please be helpful to me by clicking SUBSCRIBE. Thank you!

    Thats good stuff right there! Thanks for the video, its added to my list of ideas as I have two 8 footers to move. The first one being the day after tomorrow which should be the easy one. the second one will have to come down off of a 4' deck with not a lot of room to maneuver. Seeing how "friends " are never available when their backs are needed , Im getting as many ideas as possible to handle any problems that ma arise. Good job and thanks for showing what one man, some tools and a little ingenuity and determination can do.

    I move Hot Tub‘s every damn day and I could tell just by looking at it it was an 8 foot! The placard that you see right there will tell you the year it was made serial number and model of the tub. Even if I have two or three people with me I always use my spa wedge because why hurt yourself when you have the tools to do it safely without a struggle!!

    • @GoodStuffVideos
      @GoodStuffVideos  5 лет назад +7

      That tub was about 900 lbs. dry. People can often do more than they think, but obviously safety is the most important thing. There are some things that only a crane will do. There are other things that are simply made easier by a crane. I do not hesitate to use a crane if it is safer. Have fun with your spa delivery. Thanks for watching the video.

    number 1 why did you not winch tub on trailer like there design to do. number 2 why did you not stand up on 4 wheel cart then roll to trailer number 3 leave tongue on trailer so you have more leverage pulling down i been moving hot tub for 17 years first 2 with the same set up but quicker got rid the the 2 wheel trailer now use 2 wheel deck over tilt trailer 12 foot long 8 foot wide never have to separated spa cart winch cart with hot on flat or standing up

    • @GoodStuffVideos
      @GoodStuffVideos  5 лет назад

      Well, this was my first attempt at moving a spa by myself, so there are probably some things I would do differently.
      I didn't have a winch at the time.
      Flipping an 8-footer up on 4-wheel cart by oneself is precarious at best.
      Leaving the tongue on upright trailer throws the balance off and often causes it to fall down.
      Sounds like you have a good system there.

    • @GoodStuffVideos
      @GoodStuffVideos  7 лет назад +1

      Tyler Denham Yes. You can see at the 11:10 mark that this does have the abs covering on the bottom of the tub. For those concerned about scratching their deck, rolling the tub on white pipes can minimize that, though depending on conditions, some scratching will occur regardless.
