Hey everyone. For anyone moving machinery in the 416, 905 and 519 I am more than happy to recommend United Rentals (Brantford) electric/hydraulic dolly. I used it to lift a 450lb Starrett Granite surface plate up the stairs at my old townhouse and down into the new basement shop at the new house. Too, a 1500 lb knee mill (in parts), was moved. I used a Standard fridge cart to move the Boyar Schultz surface grinder and base cabinet in 3 pieces and a Standard Modern 13” Utililathe and base cabinet in 4 pieces, but after using the cart, I should have rented sooner. The unit does all the work, you just keep it balanced. I was quoted $1500a piece, so $4500 and $750 for the granite plate for a rigging company to move everything. To rent a trailer and rent the cart was just under $150 “taxes in” and with the help of a buddy we managed in a day.
Just for all those out there reading about the challenges and perhaps shying away from picking up that little dream machine you’ve been eyeing, there is a really easy and cost effective solution out there.
Best of luck everybody, we’re all in this together, lol.
Cheers.
