You absolutely have to have a forklift for that sort of job.

No. The only things you ABSOLUTELY need when moving heavy equipment is
patience, rollers blocks and a long crowbar. The most important of these
is
patience. Take it slow and careful, and you can move nearly anything.

Roger that!


It s true about moving a heavy item on a flat surface, but not so true
about loading and unloading top heavy items from trailers.

I don't read much about it in equipment moving threads, but using jacks
and/or pry bars with PROPER cribbing makes it easy and safe to move heavy
equipment vertically. House movers do it regularly.

****.....I sure hope so. Later this week Ive got to pull the
verticle 10' x 4'x 3" thick press brake plate from a 10: Wysong 50 ton
press brake, and send it off for remilling.

This is gonna be really really interesting to do, and not get anyone
turned into a street pizza

after its been remachined..its gonna be really fun putting it back
into place.......

I sure hope your liability insurance is in place, mon. With that kind
of tonnage, **** flattens.
