Are there lifting rods or lifting points on a Powermatic 160 planer?
I plan to rent a low trailer and the place has a forklift. I want them to lift it off the pallet and onto a steel angle iron mobile base I'll be making. Using 800+ pound capacity per caster of course.
Planer weighs around 1,100 pounds.
I need to know how to properly run straps to lift the planer up. I've seen some photos of wood through the planer and the bed raised to pinch the wood then straps are ran around the wood. The process isn't clear to me. Ive also heard some use eye bolts in the grinder bar location.
I'm calling Powermatic tomorrow, but wanted to ask first. Here's a pic of what I've read several have done. Nothing mentioned in the manual about how to do it.
