This is a continuation of the other thread, wasn't sure if anyone would be looking back for more questions. Would it be best to uncrate the saw at the freight terminal for the move, or leave it in the crate until it's in the basement or at least at the stairs?
We used an appliance dolly for the table saw, had a beefy friend at the top, and his son and I (non-beefy) supporting it from the bottom. It was all my friend on the top could do to hold it, as his leverage was practically nill on the stairs
I was thinking of going without the dolly this time, using a piece of plywood fastened to the stairs as a slide. That way the man on top could exert more pull to slow it's descent. Could also maybe rig a chain hoist or block and tackle as well on top to help lower. Hopefully we will have four guys to do it this time.
I guess the main question is whether to leave it in the crate or uncrate it at the terminal. Will the crate fit in a small Toyota pickup with a canopy? I could remove the canopy without much difficulty if need be.
Any further comments or clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Needless to say, I am not accustomed to dealing with such large items.
