"Upon Roosevelt's death in 1945, H. L. Mencken predicted in his diary that Roosevelt would be remembered as a great president, "maybe even alongside Washington and Lincoln," opining that Roosevelt "had every quality that morons esteem in their heroes.""
I'm sure the 1/4-20 bolts they use are quality ones, not grade 0.5 crap.
Sounds like you have your answer, then.
Moved a Boss9 R2E4 several times and a Boss 5 once. Both series ones. Leave the head attached. Sling basket through the mentioned holes in the head casting on a hook. It'll pitch forward a little, so be ready to pucker a bit.
I built a skid with 4x4's and 3/4" ply on top and bottom. The lumber is dead centered under the leveling holes in the base. I lower the machine onto the skid & lag it down. Use a fork truck from there. Orient the skid to lift from the non-cabinet side.
I'd wait for the fork truck.
Good luck!

Did... but it leveled out really nice once the hook centered up.
It's moved, on its 'home' slab, and will get hooked up in the next five or six days, as other work permits.
Thanks for all the help, folks. THIS machine is my biggest, so far. It clears the ceiling by about 3" .

Iggy, most of the files I've checked are just the first few pages.
Do you have these manuals, or were they supplied by others?
If you have them, complete, contact me off-list, please. I'd like to offer a loan or copying deal.
Just take the "inside" out of my address.

Emphasis on the "so far". My biggest so far is a Smith and Mills 25" shaper. My forklift can only lift 5k, so I made skates and called a tow truck.
Speaking of height clearance on the r2e4, at it's first home with me, it was sandwiched between the floor joists of my walk-in basement...
I was refering to Lloyds careful research. But since you mention it, I hope they use good stuff.
I wonder what the typical safety factor for lifts is as a matter of good practice.

Is this what it looks like?
Or like this?

Wes, that'd be it. You have to keep the scale in mind, though. The keyboard is about 3" above my head, and I'm 6' tall.

All he had was the "operator's manual", which he gave me. It's basically a discussion of what keys do what, and how to power up the machine. There's nothing in there about hookup, types of lubricants, etc.
But I found a really nice guy (actually two of 'em) on CNCzone. One will copy his manuals as time permits, and email JPGs of the pages. The other one will do a full paper copy of all seven manuals, and ship them to me for about $150 (which isn't a bad deal, considering the volume of paper).

Its a VERY tall stack when you have the complete set. About 2 foot tall.
I found at least 3 mplete sets a client had tossed out, a few years ago. Unfortunately he had tossed into a 55 gal drum and it was sitting under a rain gutter downspout, the day after a cloud burst...sigh
