I have ordered a PM935TV mill and am doing some pre-planning on how to retrieve it from the FEDEX Freight terminal and ultimately get it into my shop.
My garage door has an 8' height and I am trying to figure out if I can back my trailer in with the crate on the trailer.
Once in hand and under cover, I will then decide how to move it from the garage to the shop. Perhaps stripping the table off and snaking it through a personnel door like I did with my lathe recently or alternately renting a Bobcat with forks and taking it around back through some french doors on the back side of the shop. Both present challenges of course.
What were the dimensions of the crate that yours came in? Most importantly how tall was the crate? How did you manage getting yours into place? Any photos or links would be greatly appreciated. (I do not seem to get along well with the search engine on this forum!)
Edit: I do not have an overhead hoist. I do have an 2T engine hoist that worked well on the lathe.
2nd Edit: QMT tells me that this particular pallet mine is coming on is 69 1/2" tall.
