I only want to move it 100', is there any reason not to lift and carry it by the ram with a forklift? It' a 2-hp 42" table variable speed, I forget the model.
I want to move it closer to the rest of the machine shop.

Yes, by the ram, and put 2x4s between forks and the ram to prevent scratching or slippage. This is how they are moved.

When I bought this one @5 years ago, Roger lifted/moved it from underneath and DROPPED IT! $500 in parts from Gunner's buddy and bent lead screws...so, I needed to make sure. Thanks1
Tom Gardner fired this volley in news:ma8ft2$ug1$1 @speranza.aioe.org:
Ig said it right, but take advantage of any drafts in the ram, if you have them. When we moved my R2E4, the rigger slipped a Kevlar sling through the ram via the wiring drafts, and moved it like a child's toy. We did this on both ends of the 100-mile jaunt, and the machine suffered no damage.

Is Roger now Rogeretta? You didn't require it to be rigged TO the forklift, too, in case it shifted?!
Rev it up, git 'er moving, hit the brakes, and go Bowling for Dollars?
I've almost killed him a number of times.
As long as Roger doesn't drop it again, I doubt your friend had the parts I'd need again.
