I just won these and need to collect them tomorrow but I am on my own.

Also only have a Navara so I will need to split the frame. How does the frame come apart for transport or is it angle grinder time>>

If they were mine I would hacksaw the frame horizontally somewhere below the top windows. I would then make some plates to slide into the hollow section frame and bolt the 2 bits back together. You've probably already thought this one through though. (The last sentence is a contender for the biggest number of different sounds "ough" make).

I was hoping they were screwed or bolted on the corners though. lol

I thought we might have some friendly window fitters on the forum

Biggest foreseeable problem is the Big combination frame will have been "welded" together at all the joints, The UPVC heated up and it then welds itself together.You can probaly cut through anywhere that makes shipping convenient, when your home, youll need to maybe tidy up the cuts and then devise how to join them back if you need to keep the top windows like they are shown in the pic.
Maybe just cut through all the corner mitres, -then worry about joining them back when you get home.

take the small glass units out the frames carry them in the load area of your pick up put frames on roof rack you should be ok, possibly more than two trips there

Don't cut the frames, they need to be in one piece. Get bigger transport or don't bother. Old doors are a nightmare to set up and get working good when still in one piece cut -up forget it, sorry to disappoint but your just wasting your time. better to waste the purchase price than the price plus a heap of time and trouble
BTW I owned a conservatory company during the UPVC boom and am just being a realist. There is a blooming big full tilt n turn window here in good order anyone can take for free and its going to cost me a skip

The way I( am looking at it is this . I cant see me being able to drive my navara through this without taking the wing mirrors off.

So if I strap on some wood to my roof rack and onto of the truckman back cross ways . Then strap the frame on to the roof rack using tie downs (removing opening lights first..) it should not be as wide as the Navara...

The rest can go in the back of the truck or the rear cab as needed...

All back safe and sound
