Make sure that the sling's are not contacting the leadscrew at
any point . Remove the tailstock , chuck , anything else to
lighten it up some . the balance point of a lathe in the air can
change at any second . Best to remove from the base/stand &
keep the unit a low to the ground when moving .

I am just going to put some slings under it and lift it
with an engine hoist.?? Most likely I will rent a u haul
trailer instead of trying to pick it up far enough to put it
in the pickup.? Dropping big stuff down the outside steps into
the cellar involves a John Deere 4300 and a chain fall.

is the watch word if you are going to move it youself S they
are very top heavy and will fall over before you can blink.
I would suggest bolting it to a large sheet of 3/4 plywood for
transport.
