Re: Moving a real heavy weight into a garage

I own a machine shop and for lifting and setting small machines (less than 2500 lbs) I call a local wrecker service to unload from truck or trailer. First move the tailstock and carriage as far back as you can to help balance the weight, then get some lift straps and wrap them around the ways of the lathe. hook the winch cable from the wrecker to the straps and lift just enough to drive out from under it. Then set it on some steel pipes and roll into place. JUST REMEMBER, EASY DOES IT!!!
