I use either pipe rollers or skates for moving around onsite.? If
using skates, use only three for something like a Bridgeport,
not
4.? The slightest imperfection in the flatness of a concrete
surface will cause one skate to drop out if placed in all four
corners. Then your machine will tip over.
Have crated several machines for transport long distance, lifted
locally by crane equipped trucks.? For one expensive VMC purchased
in Australia, I travelled there to pack it myself by wrapping it
up with many sheets of 2inch thick polystyrene sheet, which I
later used for workshop insulation.? The machine was then rolled
neatly into a shipping container, which container was then
eventually set down on my driveway, after a sea voyage that I
could follow online.
