need to move a lathe

<< < (9/9)

hermetic:
As I said earlier on in this post, you will be ok with a fork lift if you suspend the lathe below the forks on a lifting bar, I have seen more lathes (and other machinery too) wrecked by fork lift trucks whose drivers are utterly convinced that you lift everything from underneath. Lathes are top heavy!! They fall over!!

I'll second that lathes are top heavy, to be lifted from above!
