Photoessay on moving a Bridgeport uploaded to the dropbox

Nice work moving the machine.

One thing that you might have done is to put a piece of plywood in the trailer under the machine. Metal on metal slides easy, wood on metal is much less slippery. This also goes for carrying a machine on a forklift. I saw someone drop a keyseater last week because he had the thing directly on the forks and then hit a bump.

Well done, sir.

Very nice. The driveway where this was loaded looks like gravel, if it was I really don't understand why that Hyster didn't bury itself.

Well done, and documented.

Very nice writeup. Now you know that everything is portable.

Might have been covered with something like Afton stone. We laid Afton stone on our dirt areas where I worked and after a bit of rain and driving over, it made a surface hard enough for lift trucks to operate on.

I like how you use a piece of plywood to get the bp over your threshold without damaging it. I'll keep that in memory since my bp is on the other side of a 36" door that wasn't there when I moved the bp in.
