So when i moved my machine shop into my basement - i wasnt consdering have to move it out again.. thats dumb. i just clear that now, that is one dumb assumption :wack: - never do that. So when going in i hade the help of a tractor and with a crane arm.. Well going out i will not have that luxury.. So how do you move a 750kg lathe, 500kg mill and a 400kg cold saw out of a basement and up a steep concrete stair in a narrow space.. Tips, tricks, photos... is all greatly appreciated. |

Remove floor above. I actually made a trap door in the living room that would allow a Myford in and out, it was a mid terrace house. A frame in front room, all work done whilst family away on holiday. :thumbup: |

The Egyptians used dry sand and effectively 'floated' heavy objects. Easier going down than up but still possible :lol: |

My equipment was nowhere near as big... but when I moved it out, took everything down as far as possible and then used a lot of man power. I know that probably won't help you... Eric |

carefully! across the flat :- pry bars and rollers. up the stairs :- short 2 legged A frame at the top, leaning towards the slope. a chain coming from the apex and anchored to a heavy vehicle as a third "leg" to stop it falling over. then just simply chain block the items up the stairs and onto flat ground. go slowly and don't skimp on the lifting gear, you can never have to many ropes, chains shackles etc |
