How do I take this off?

Thanks for the replies.

Yeah, thinking about it I agree with it being a waste of time.

Ok - Any advice on how to get the lathe out?

I have a 2 ton engine crane and a pallet truck at my disposal but the shed door is too narrow for the crane or pallet truck and there is a step. Not sure how to approach it?



Thanks,

Jim

I would take two people down with some rollers ie scaffold tube about 3 or 4 etc and an assortment of crow bars and roll it along check what the weight is on warco's site. Ask the owner how he got in in there. ..Clive

If the diameter of the rollers was slightly larger than the step into the shed is high, it would roll right in onto some smaller rollers.
The pallet truck should lie on it's side and worm it's way through the doorway.

Asking the current owner - No good, he doesn't remember (long story).

Scaffold tubes and the pallet truck could be a winner though? Like this....

Move anything with rollers and long levers. Two people will move this a piece of piss with rollers and plank of wood. Even easier with pallet truck and engine hoist.

Mate and me moved same machine as this 150yards and over 18" inch wall onto a trailer using 4 scaffold tubes 2 planks and 2 trolley jacks. . . . And did it in less than 1hr start to finish.!!!

Wow - I would not fancy moving that monster!

Well the lathe move went to plan and it is now sitting in my garage!! :)

Still need to lift it on to the cabinet but I want to give it a good clean first.
