Bridgeport Weight

[Gary]

I have the exact machine and let me just say, it will not fit in a small van and a flatbed will be needed or get a company to pick it up for you.
Its at least 1.5 ton.

Ironically they are considered 'OK' but not that rigid.

Thanks. This is what we will be using.

We will have a forklift on the collection side and on my side a 1.5 Ton Engine Hoist (and my 1 Ton which isnt working well).

Thanks Gary and Scott and yes, all good thanks. I should come and pop around to you next week if you are around?

Is the forklift a fancy model which reads out the weight ?

I was thinking you might want to run a Christmas guess-the-weight competition with a box of Quality Street for the winner.

Won’t be me by the sounds of it as I was going to say ~800 kg !

Your engine hoist is rated at 1.5 tons at max boom extension?

Hi,

No, I dont think so. Probably at least but this should be OK I think.
