I recall Iggy that you said some time ago that you had a place that
you rented a forklift from for a day at a pretty reasonable price.
Could you recommend somebody.

I'm in Aurora IL USA and have a slightly sloped asphault driveway to
work on. The guy delivering will have it on a Ford Superduty flat bed
and I need to get it into the garage so it at least clears the door.
I have wheels for it at that point.

I need more space, and more time.

I'll post pictures of it somewhere when I get it next month.


I never rented a forklift and never operated one -- not once.

What you need to do can be easily done by a rigger, I know some whose
prices are relatively decent. This is not a DIY operation.


It is certainly a DIY operation if one has even modest skills. I
received a B'Port mill from a flatbed tilt trailer. Skidded it off
with cardboard and a boat winch.

Failing a tilt trailer, a skidsteer e.g. Bobcat would get 'er done.
