The thing with a moving truck that troubles me is this: how do I fasten
the mill down inside the truck?
Many moving trucks have side cleats for fastening tiedowns. Ask the
renter if you can also lag it down if it has a boltdown base. Put it
forward in the truck as far as possible and centered. Then it won't
break or become a projectile if it breaks loose if you hit something
or if you have to stop really fast. (Those are 3 nasty IFs.)
I have never seen anything in a box truck substantial enough for securing a
3,500 pound machine. Anything attached to the sides would not be sufficient.
I'm thinking about putting some kind of anchors in the floor of my box
truck, but for the most part I've found a trailer to be a more practical way
to move machinery.
Quick, order fellow rec.metalhead Ron Thompson's CD about Rigging.
It'll tell you all you need to know.
