Hey guys,

What kind of vehicles do you use to move pins around?  I'm stuck on that question right now. If I can get it in my Malibu Maxx, it would save me renting a van...

Any suggestions? Think it would fit?

I'm not familiar with that car, but a pin with the head removed will fit into almost any hatchback with the rear seats folded down. Standard cabinet size is roughly 22" wide, 52" long, and 24" tall at the back. A second person to help load/unload will make it a lot easier.

I'm going to go outside with a tape measure tomorrow. I'm about 80% sure I could do it if it's about 4 feet and a few inches long...

Thanks guys.

I usually use a trailer and my truck, I built the trailer for hauling pins and vids. We have on a couple of occasions put pins in the back of the wife's PT Cruiser with the rear seats removed.

"Measured" my 2006 saturn vue before driving from Toronto to Chicago to get a nice MB, having never had a pin in it before.
Needless to say I was VERY nervous about getting to Chicago and it not fitting....but I thought very worst case the head could be removed.
Couple things to watch for:

Don't just measure the inside height of your vehicle, make sure there is room at the hatch door...it was a tighter fit there then once in the truck.

Also the latch on my vehicle sticks up about 1/2 inch above the cargo space. Had to use a torx wrench to get the latch off otherwise getting the machine in, up/sliding over the latch would have been a pain or caused a lot of damage.

Get right in the back of your vehicle, close the hatch and then measure, don't want to have the machine fit in but then not quite be able to close the hatch or something..

Good luck!

Wanted ~~ MORE! Once there is enough room! 2 pins in a 2 bed apt is enough
