Re: Pending delivery, looking for advice
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýBrett, I guess I am not smart or clever. I only have one mobile base and I am pretty sure it is Portamate. Don¡¯t really care for it. IIRC, there are four pieces of angle iron with corner blocks. I could not figure out how i could assemble them and install with just blocks and levers on a machine that does not have a base (i.e., metal sides with folded lip). Perhaps having a hoist made me not think too hard ? Imran On Jan 14, 2021, at 9:54 AM, Brett Wissel <Brettwissel@...> wrote:
? Faced with similar situations on moving awkward objects over soft soil: 1.

From there you can use nearly any wheeled contraption with little rolling resistance,?including pipes for rollers. Maybe even the Portamate setup you already bought or a set of furniture caster dollies. 3. The engine hoist idea may work but you still have the issue with rigging and attachment?points under tension. You might find it's not too bad to work it off the pallet right onto the Portamate? with some levers, stacks of blocking, and clever use of the car jack.

Therefore I was thinking on lifting the pallet up with a car jack and drill a hole on each side of the pallet both front and back to install a metal rod and some 7-8¡± allroads wheels to better be able to move it. What do you guys think or suggest as alternative if this doesnt work?? Brett Wissel
