Default Getting a Unisaw home

I'm looking at a Unisaw on CL. I have a Dodge Ram pickup that can
handle the load but I have no idea how I’d get the thing into the bed
of the truck (just me & wife). The saw is not nearby and a bit of a
drive. I don’t have access to a small trailer, although I guess I
could rent a U-Haul? Recommendations?



When I got mine, it was used with 50" fence and large Laguna sliding
table I was able to pull most of the sliding table off. I had a
flatbed trailer with about 12-14" to the deck. We used ramps, it had
the mobile base, but it was a bitch with 3 men. Only took two going
down hill. If you had long ramps you might be able to rig a come
along in your pick up and slide it up. Theres not a lot of good
places to grab on to and you don't really want to be excessively rough
with it. It would be great if you could borrow a couple of those
long roller sections for unloading trucks.
