New Press at the Provo Alphagraphics

Alphagraphics in Provo, Utah, bought a beautiful new Ryobi 4-color printing press. Due to the size and weight of the new machine (15,000 pounds!) and the narrow, steep ramp down to the basement of the print shop, a 100,000 pound crane was brought in to offload the press from the truck. On top of all this, there was heavy snow leading up to (and during) the unloading process. After unloading, the crane brought the press to the back door, at which point it was brought inside on metal "skates."

I Am A ryobi engineer and the only way you can lift this press is in one piece as the base is a solid base and does not split.
