need to move a lathe

<< < (8/9) > >>

shipto:
The bed is definatly Harrison its hidden by the bottom bar (not sure of its proper name, transfer bar maybe?) but the Harrison name is cast into it. I joined the harrison Group and showed pic there and the prelimary conclusion is that its indeed a Harrison 14 but a really early version.
The numbers certainly match a Harrison 14 it has a little over 14" swing over bed and 24" within the gap even the space between centres seem like they will match that quote on the lathes.co.uk site.

Looks really nice !

I have used a pro to move our industrial machines, with the crane.
BUT..
My entrance is low, a carport, and quite angled. It drops about 60 cm over 3 m.

I would like to get some heavy stuff, like a 2-4000 kg industrial lathe, in.
Any ideas appreciated.
Would a forklift maybe work ?

I could, maybe easily and quickly, weld a cradle form mild steel, around the lathe for lift points from underneath.
Maybe make it wide, say about the height of lathe, or 1.6 m or so ?
Or .. wheels on the edges ?

Im worried about the rolling-down-uncontrolled part, and when the fast-moving lathe hits the end wall and goes through it...
