Moving my new mill

So it is a Modern Tool supplied Precision Matthews 935VS. The specs are here
The loading bay door was 5" taller than the bay of my truck, and we used a Loading dock ramp to ease it down to the bed of the truck. Those pesky lifting bars were too wide to fit across the bed so we had to cant the mill at an angle and use the bars at an angle also. Raised it on the lifting bars, lowered the jack and pulled out. Then (the long part) lowered it right to the bed of the truck.
In the morning I'll post a pic of it on the truck if you like.

Please do.

Where did you get the lifting bars from, or did you make them John? Your mill has the same issue as my ironworker: too narrow for a pallet jack.
Did you buy or rent them? I sure could have used those in some of my moves. Where are you sourcing your pallet jack from? Asking because ULINE makes an adjustable width model.
