Moving Testing Equipment
Moving Testing Equipment
(OP)
Hi All,
I just have a quick question that I could use your input on. I inherited my current lab and I have been working systematically to improve the lab; but now I am at the point where I need to move my heavy concrete compression machine. My question is what is a sufficient and hopefully easy way to get this item moved. It doesn't need to go far, but I have limited space to maneuver around. I tried to research the actual weight of it, and my best guess is that it is probably somewhere between 1500-2000 lbs. We have a maintenance section here who would normally use a small bobcat to lift something like this, but obviously I don't have the room to get a bobcat into my lab. So I could use whatever advice or info you may have to make my work a little easier. Is there a specific type of equipment that works well for this? Or am I going to have to probably contract this out to a company that specializes in moving large heavy objects?
Thanks.

RE: Moving Testing Equipment
If you don't have the right equipment, reaching out to your local riggers will be the easiest and likely cheapest option. I don't know where you are located but in Colorado riggers charge around $500 to pickup, transport across town, and drop off a piece of equipment that size so I would expect that to be the upper limit of the cost to move it around within your lab.

But, calling in a machinery mover wouldn't be wrong :)

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand
