Folks,
The issue of moving and lifting equipment comes up here a lot. Does anyone know of a good public article that covers proper lifting/rigging techniques for lathes, mills and similar shop equipment?
I'm fortunate enough to have been surrounded by it at an early age and have had some coaching from folks who regularly moved stuff weighing tens (or even hundreds) of tons. I searched the Net for such information to post here and couldn't find anything really useful. Most of it was either statements of policy and procedure or basic technique on how to lift something w/o wrenching your back.
If we can't find some good links, please consider taking some pictures (if safely convenient) the next time you do a move so we can give tips & pointers here in this thread.
