Rep Power: 25 | Re: Bed Removal That will require at 2-4 people to handle the canopy. So price will depend on: 1. Is it just one tech and you are supplying other lifting help or is tech bringing crew? 2. How far is travel time? 3. What sort of constraints are they working with inside the salon - room sizes, door sizes, hallway sizes --- all can make an extraction easier or harder. 4. Who is providing the pallet? Do they have to make/bring? 5. Assume you want it set back up on the pallet to ship. This means basically reversing the process and rebuilding the entire bed - AND securing to ship safely! Screwing down ballast trays, securing canopy, etc etc etc. Time, materials AND expertise to do that safely. Keep in mind - it will take several hours to remove the bed and several hours to rebuild. This is a whole day job at least! Add in travel time - they may have to build in an overnight hotel stay along with their mileage, meals and time. As an FYI - a bed this size will be too big for a liftgate. So plan on having a forklift available to get it on the truck or however you plan for it to leave the salon on the pallet. |

These monster beds are going to be considered the dinosaurs and boat anchors of the tanning industry of the future, just like the monster stereos are passé today, and big sound is coming from smaller and smaller units. | |
