How do _you_ move equipment? What "tools" do you use?

What's the heaviest load a cherry picker can hoist? Is there a forklift anywhere near where you are picking up the machine? They can at least load it that way, but off-loading it will be an issue. Well, you could build a very sturdy ramp to off-load it, but I wouldn't want to be behind it or anywhere within 50 feet of its path when you push it over the edge. Perhaps you can rent a car towing trailer? Those are very low to the ground generally and you may be able to push it onto the tracks. Renting one may well be much cheaper than a truck with a lift gate. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
