Thanks for the video... I recently moved both a cnc mill and a lathe (smaller -- under 1000lb each) into the basement manually with borrowed equipment used for moving safes -- straight through a 40" side door and down eight steps. This method (or perhaps a hiab) would have been easier.
Awesome video. Informative, funny, and well done. One caveat for your viewers, that machine picks 6000lbs at one position, basically the one you used. As you shoot the boom out the capacity goes down so at full reach it may only pick 1000lbs for example. Kind of like holding a sledge hammer out by the hammer end vs. the end of the handle. There is a load chart printed in the cab usually.
@coriander2 All kinds of stuff - whatever creative thing pops into my head. That was my reason for stocking the garage with machines and materials. The dream was to build a shop, but that never materialized. Recently I realized that I can be pretty happy with just a few machines, so long as I pick those few machines carefully. One need not have a giant machine shop to do creative stuff!
The first time I rented (a year ago), the costs were:
$185 (1 day rental)
$90 (pick up and delivery - they bring it and take it away)
With tax it was $297.56
With sales tax, the total was $297.56
The second time (this video) we used a more expensive rental place. We waited too long to confirm - by then my usual rental place had sent the forklift I wanted out for the day. Had to have it same day to get the lathe on the truck, so we paid a premium this time.
WOW I wish i had one of these when i moved my machine in!! How much on average did it cost a day for that thing? I had to use 6' forks on a forklift and push my machine in, then rolled it around. It was a huge pain in the ass and took forever. Thanks to you, when i ever move it or buy another machine, this is the only way to go!! :)
Hey, glad you liked the video, thanks for the nice comment. Your project is coming along nicely too - I hope you won't have to move it anytime soon. =)

@MrDan27611 Thanks for the compliment on the video! Good note about the load capacity being reduced with the boom extended.
