The sections are mounted on raised concrete pads, they will not skate
safely.

I have very nice counterweights.

Are the big roller drums on the lower part, solid or hollow?

i

They cylinders were hollow.

Maybe you could lower onto some scates with some enerpac
low profile cylinders, or fabricate a cradle using hydraulics for
lifting and solid rods for the wheels. How far is the exit and
loading dock? Can you get at the press with you fork lifts?

I can drive a forklift between the concrete pads (which support the
sides of the press).

The press supposedly comes apart.

How heigh are are the concrete pads?


1ft

Any problem damaging the floor of the building
during removal?


Well, it will be damaged of course, but not too much.

Looks like your in for a labor intensive task based on
your description. Maybe rent a fork lift capable of
lifting the 35k sections.

Best Regards
Tom.
