I was reading another thread and it got me to thinking about a situation of my own.
I will be taking delivery of a AD941 this friday the 11th.
I have a unique situation with a fenced yard will to narrow a gate opening for the machine to fit through. The yard is also on a incline and it worries me to use a pallet jack to move the machine.
My solution has been hiring a crane to lift the machine off the pallet over my fence and onto a platformoutside my basement door. Once here i need to gently slide it down a ramp 30" and into my shop where i have a pallet jack waiting to move it into final place.
In another thread it was suggested that just moving a machine on casters could mess with its tolerances. My plan is to strap the machine from underneath the base not touching the tables at all.
So what do people think, anyone ever lifted a jointer with straps. I hear people suggest they have used a engine lift all the time. I cant see how that is any different.
