Just put four lifting eyes in the middle 2ft radius and get a really short set of brothers to keep on it

My guess is he probably wishes he shared the design idea before he started. I like the concept. But I think the idea behind it is for the bigger house bashing contractors with 13 ton machines the forks to go plot to plot.
I think I will be carrying 3 bags of bends around the single plots I do for a while yet.

We have about 30 septic tanks / compact filter / treatment plants booked to do this year ... once we start them we travel around from job to job, it will get some use dont worry
Ffs its only going to weigh à few 100kg full

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
make a drop in spacer bar to stop 'em collapsing inwards, or even hinged so they don't go walkaboutGetting it off on the hookloader will be the tricky bit but yep maybe some that would do for 3t would maybe work, thing is with lifting eyes is the variable weight distribution depending on whats in it....and not easy to lift from each corner because the legs for the pipe rack part wouldn't last long being pulled inwards towards à central lift point.
Retractable ?

The dodgy site stak on a budget swung into town today(or yesterday 
)....It was actually a doddle to get off the skip and into a corner with 4 straps round it saves a lot of time and effort carting individual fittings,pipe and tools around....and pipe holder for cutting is spot on
Had my doubts but will definitely save us some time and effort this summer.

Looks solid ....like you say needs a bit of space but if you have room its a no brainer, saves a lot of unloading and carting about , choose à spot swing it in and move on, and you can clearly see what you got of each angle

hope you've perforated all the sealed tube ends for venting and draining or they'll charge you a fortune to do it ....
gonna need one hell of a tank to dip that, even double dipped and will need a lot of welds to the mesh to keep it attached as it heats and cools .....
looks the biz

Where hollow sections are sealed they must be vented for reasons of safety so allowing the escape of air and the ingress and drainage of zinc during the dipping process. Vent holes are required at each sealed end either in the end plate or the section. Where holes are provided in end plates they...

Haven't opened the steel bill yet
Yeah holes drill top and bottom. They'll drill extra holes depending on which way they dip it but don't charge for them if you've made a good effort yourself.
The bath is 1200mm x about 30ft long so will fit in sideways no bother. Made it 1100 high
Yeah the mesh may be some interesting shapes when it comes out
