I've had to move equipment twice that big with nothing more than plywood and steel conduit- as the Egyptians taught us. ::)

I'm gonna guess that's a 80-100+ US Ton crane, and the trailer is something like 12000lbs rated.
 
i really dont anything about cranes my first lathe was only 5 ton but i knew the crane guy he trail rode with us and he brought his second biggest hydro he splained it " id just as soon use this as long as it fits
and yer not gonna pay me full price anyway ya fucker"
im gonna make a wild as gues that jrod and his dad are well aquainted with the crane guys

my favorite little lathe to run was lil more seki 14" er i think it was real precise not that we ever did anything real tight but it had a smooth high speed gear, pretty quiet,killer brakes, handled sweet and repeatability you could bank on
more pics of the lathe ?
 
Not at all. He charges $225/hr with a 2 hr minimum. Fortunately, he is across the street from me. Didn't have to load the fork truck on a trailer to bring it over to set it on my loading dock.
 
X, I'll grab some tomorrow. This thing came out of a trade school. Not even a scratch inside it. You can't run a lathe without scratching the paint inside the cabinent. Guy at the school said they used it to teach kids to program, and just ran programs with no material.
 
awesome ! whats a cabinet ?hahahhahaha so i take it the coolant resrvoir doesnt smell like a fish farm 5 days after a drain ?goddamit i just realized i have never even run a lathe with dro and only 1 or 2 mills that had it :-[
 
Ha, my Lodge & Shipley is set up with dial indicators. Works perfectly fine. I bought another mill a while back. I haven'the ordered a DRO yet. Set up same way.
 
it was 15 years into my work that i even knew what travel indicator was i finally observed a new hire using an indicator for travel and i was absolutely flabbergasted at what a stroke pure genius it was ;D and more than a little dis apointed in myself for not figguring it out on my own.before that i was always the only machinist in the shop and self taught so that was a little consolation i guess
 
Pops has been a tool and die maker for 30 years. I went from being a professional baseball player to opening a shop with him. Everything is new to me.
