I just became the proud owner (or at least high bidder) of a Shape-Rite model B, 8" shaper which appears to be in pretty good shape. I have to make a 6 hour round trip on Thursday to pick it up. It's on the shape-rite cabinet base. Has anyone moved one of these before? Is the cabinet base a part of the shaper in any functional way, or is it just a base that can easily be unbolted and laid down in the truck? The only reference I can find online is an 8-page manual which doesn't describe the base or how the actual shaper attaches to it (I would assume 4 bolts from inside). The manual says the entire unit less motor and starter weighs 650lb. Can these easily be broken down into 2-man lifts that could fit into an SUV, or is it better to load them whole?
The two possible methods I have are to pull it apart into 2-man liftable pieces and haul it in the SUV, or take the ruck and engine crane and haul it whole. They're calling for heavy rain all day, so I'd prefer the SUV option if it's easy to take apart. Otherwise I'll just have to try to tarp it really well.
Thanks.
