Back in the day, (about 30 years ago now) I helped my brother do just that for a very big 'double garage' that was extra long.
We used one of my old Ford D series tipper trucks to go and get in. It took two loads and help from an army for friends.
He still uses it today

Does anyone else have this with euro auctions if you click on an item then go back it returns you to the start of the listings! Very annoying on phone where it does 120 at a time and on iPad etc it’s pages but have to remember where you were

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
think most auction sites're the same .... I always right click 'open in new tab/page', but doubt you can do that on a phone

My Dads gone to Thrapston collective today, loads in but I'm on site in London 
Watched the walk round video last night, only a couple of bits of interest buying 'blind' but I've got myself a little wheelie bin looking bowser for 65 quid- wasn't prepared to bit too much as his technical appraisal was 'they look like bins and say diesel on'
And trying to get confirmation that these pallet forks had sliding tines ....

Most round here are still hand dug in the church grave yards. Chap that did my Father in Laws grave in 2019 (full 6ft ready for Mother in Law one day!) was past retiring age himself. Gave himself the whole day for it and made a lovely job. Fascinating job. One of my old customers (dead himself) was a grave digger for many years. Had some storiesOur local grave digger uses a 2.5 Taki, when he can get it in .... can think of plenty of grave yards round here that you could never get that thing into without it falling over or just too tight.
obviously good money in digging the right sort of hole

Don't complain - suggest what's better
Looks like incredibly hard work. I'm amazed health and safety allow it these days, confined space and no shoring in the few I've seen.Most round here are still hand dug in the church grave yards.

Always shored with scaffold sized boards round here. It's sand at our local. Many a happy time on the shovel as a kid filling them in for old relatives
