I know your gonna say I’m just saying would of should of could of,I moved a milling machine a little smaller than that. Atlas, about the same foot print, it came on the same type of pallet, instead of taking it off the pallet I moved it to one side, trimmed the pallet to size , used the trimmed 4×4 in the middle of the other to pallet legs. Sturdy and the machines was off the concrete.

Two big somoans could of picked it up off the trailer and carried it in. Really. I had two pick up my piano and load it into a Simi trailer like it was nothing. It cost me only a hundred bucks and a case of beer.

I helped an old Machinist move a mill once, he had 4 large diameter bearings 3 or 4 inch on the outside and maybe 3/4 inch smaller on the inside. just pry up the mill put a steel bar under it and slide on the bearings. all it took was one man pushing and one steering after that. it is a great chanel you have, thanks for all the great post
