I had the riggers come in and rearrange all the machine tools in the
lab: two manual lathes, 2 Bridgeports, Haas toolroom mill and lathe,
Haas VF-0, a Haas turning center, and an Injection molder. Everything
got moved once, one of the Bridgeports got moved 4 times as we tried to
get the clearances just right.

I was blown away with how easy the riggers made it look, as well as the
total simplicity of the tools used: the foreman had a shop made steel
Johnson bar. Standard 26 pound railroad bar with a 2" stub welded on the
end and 2 super duty roller skate wheels on the sides. Each of the 2
grunts had a dolly made from a 2"x2" x1/4" angle with another super duty
roller skate wheel on the side. That's all they needed to move
everything except the big Haas lathe! (Haas lathe case was too bulky to
allow access underneath)

To move a Bridgeport, the foreman would hook the base at the back, lift
it up an inch or so. Grunts would slide the angle iron blocks in along
the sides, near the back. Foreman would set the load on the side
rollers, go around and get a 1" lift off the front. A bit of a push and
off it went. When I wanted the Bridgeport moved over 9" and a bit more
angle, it took no move than 3 minutes with not the least bit of grunting
and groaning.

The Haas VF-0 had to go down a long hallway and through several
doorways. Same Johnson Bar and roller skates.

Did I say I was impressed?
