Koba49, sorry the first question you asked I don't have an answer for (exact dimension of skid). Hopefully one of the members that just bought and are waiting for delivery will be able to provide those numbers for you. That's one thing I did not even bother to get when mine arrived. For mine I did pay for "lift gate" and it arrived via semi truck. It was the only thing on the truck. They lowered down from the truck gate and used a pallet jack up my very short driveway. I too had to consider power (220) and size for my little shop. Didn't want to install 220 power. Have you considered the PM 1228VF-LB. I'm not sure of the price but several members here got this new lathe. It's not listed on Matt's site but they or members here might provide some info. It's very much like the 1127 with all of the same features. It has a different chucking system and it runs on 110 power.
