Wholesale Tool ZX45 Uncrated

Started uncrating my new Rong Fu 45 Clone mill from Wholesale Tool
that I bought last week.
Have to take it apart into big chunks to haul around to the basement.

Can you give me an idea of how much the individual components weigh... head assembly, column, table?

I need to figure out if this is a machine I can easily disassemble and move myself. I have a lift table but I don't have the room to maneuver an engine crane / cherry picker.

@JonBanquer the column should be the heaviest piece at about 200 lbs, you can strip the motor off the head and the table off the base to make pieces easier to move.

[JonBanquer]

How difficult would it be to remove the square column from the base to make it even easier to move?

[hossmachine]

@JonBanquer just need a big metric allen wrench to remove the 4 bolts, i didn't have one big enough.

[hossmachine]

maybe someday.

@hossmachine Thank you very much!

I've given this some thought and I think the least hassle for me would be to pick the machine up a the freight terminal using my full sized pickup truck and bring the entire machine to a storage rental place where unloading it with an engine hoist and / or a lift table hopefully won't be a problem.

Doing this will give me a month to disassemble the mill and move it to where I want it piece by piece.
