How to move a 610kg lathe the hard way. With dollies, an engine crane and what ever could be found around the shed. Bits of timber, pipe and some railroad track!
Those engine hoists are super annoying - the legs are always too high above the floor to get under things, and the legs are also simultaneously too far apart and too close together. It's like they're designed to be completely useless no matter what the situation is
@@Migman2020 Even that's debatable - I've used an engine hoist to pull cast iron heads off of and back onto a diesel engine - the legs were running into the tires to get to the heads on either side with the lifting arm in the middle. It was still a total PIA, though better than lifting the heads by hand.
Moving lathes, or any heavy equipment is both nerve racking and terrifying! Good job!
Thanks for the video! I was able to move my 13x40 enco this way after seeing you do it.
Whoa! Dealing with the CG like champs!!
Moved mine by taking down to parts and reassembing..got to assess any worn parts and check play
I'm planing on moving mine without the stand under it. That much weight up that high concerns me.....
Why get rid of it?
