Right,this is the scenario,cant get a vehicle anywhere near it well at least not my van,in the 1st pic you see all that concrete the whole place is covered with it,they broke out a large slab reneforced with metal sticking out your'll have no tyres left trust me its rough as ***k,oh and that lorry belongs to someone else.
The two blue things you see are the back end of 40' containers so getting a lorry with a hiab close enough is impossible,no he wont move them.
What i was told its been sitting there for 6 years no one knows why it was put there as its all new staff,they have another one they use its a sawdust mill.
This the crazy bit,the guy that owns it or the land its on wont let me work on it there,he says you want it you take it,i've found a home for it again its getting the b*****d out.
Watch this space,i'm not giving this one up,love a challange
Cant find any spec on it on the web,so if anyone knows,by all means say,i shall pay a visit on saturday AM try and plan an escape route for it,lol

Dont suppose your username aludes to the fact you have a High mobility load carrier which should be ideal for the removal job especially the FV623 version with crane?
If not how about using that pile of pallets / fence panels next to the compressor to make a temporary road, like trak mats, to the compressor?

Try e-mailing Compair direct. I did when I got my Compair Holman H37. They came striaght back the same day with pdf copies of users and parts manuals. Great service from them, they should be able to help with that one.
penny.puzey@compair.com was the contact I had last year.

It's the running them with the thirst for petrol, drive shafts and huge amounts of oils and servicing required.
I'd still love one myself though, next on the list to aquire.

A rope onto your van and gentle tease her out? Or a mate with a 4x4 and maybe a winch to drag it out ?
Not with my van(LDV Pilot) it couldn't pull the socks off a dead man,let you all know after i've gone back there on saturday to look further
Go back armed with a tirfor as above. Use the parked up lorry as a anchor to pull against while nobodys watching and drag it onto somewhere you can hitch it up, its not going to drag it across the yard vs a relatively small trailer 
Then drive it to somewhere halfway to hard standing see what you can do about the tyres etc as theyre bound to be flat and unroadable.

We used to have those where I used to work-always used to break down.
we got another huge thing that opens up on the back to form a bridge for tanks(other ones the same linked together)to cross rivers
