![]() I finally got around to writing up my experiences moving a Bridgeport mill last October. It adds to the excellent one that Richard Kinch did when he moved his. We had quite a discussion regarding what was safe and what wasn't, with some disagreements among some who had done it different ways. http://metalworking.com/dropbox/ Moving_a_Bridgeport_2J_Head_Milling_Machine_2.pdf Topics covered. A photo essay describing the equipment needed to move a Bridgeport milling machine, One safe way of strapping the machine onto a trailer How to lift it off the trailer HOW TO GET A WIDE TABLE THROUGH A NARROW DOOR Photos from the web of other people's moving experiences. I uploaded the files Saturday AM, so I don't know when they'll actually appear. RWL |

One thing that you might have done is to put a piece of plywood in the trailer under the machine. Metal on metal slides easy, wood on metal is much less slippery. This also goes for carrying a machine on a forklift. I saw someone drop a keyseater last week because he had the thing directly on the forks and then hit a bump. John |

Well done, sir. I uploaded the files Saturday AM, so I don't know when they'll actually appear.

I like how you use a piece of plywood to get the bp over your threshold without damaging it. I'll keep that in memory since my bp is on the other side of a 36" door that wasn't there when I moved the bp in. Wes |
