@williamparker6649 3 года назад

Johnathan I know this video was produced a year ago but I needed to share. About 10 year ago my newly retired neighbor got a new metalworking lathe. In his eagerness to get unpacked and moved into position he tipped it over and sadly crushed and killed him. I was the first to arrive hearing his screaming wife. That terrible memory is one I wish I could forget. I repeat this story hoping that anyone trying to move heavy tools any heavy load take the proper precautions and get help!

@generalawareness101 2 года назад

How heavy was that lathe? I have a mini lathe I will need help with as I have aged I can't lift 150 pounds nor would I want to with my lower back. I don't know anyone, so I am looking at machinery to help. I have a Sony CRT Trinitron 32 inch, and if you know those you know how heavy they are. Six years ago I had trouble with it but using my legs I managed to move it just enough out of the way, but no way would I do that now. I just saw a video I can't unsee of some Russian older machinist do a stupid thing in the shop with a lathe (it was on and he was in his coat when he bent over it spinning). It was like something out of a cartoon only I am not laughing. The still pictures of the body parts thrown all over the shop, and the horror on his partner. I can only imagine how much PTSD he must still have.

@trexmcnamara 11 месяцев назад

Good video... I would definitely not lift that jointer that way! You're putting massive pressure on the indeed and out feed tables which are precision parts and if they rack your machine is a big boat anchor. Some jointers (like your earlier 1900's big daddy) have a full cast iron body under the tables and those you can pict up from underneath

@steveh8724 3 года назад

Thanks, will watch this with interest. Like the safety emphasis at the beginning. Had to sigh when the 1st method using a hand truck is described as using a "dolly". Dolly refers to a low platform with 4 wheels, vs. a hand truck usually with 2 wheels and a vertical extension for leverage and support.

@drmkiwi 4 года назад

Good stuff, thanks. Another option is air skids or some sort of air cushion. These things used compressed air and can lift and allow you to move very heavy machinery easily. Cheers, David

@katzmosestools 4 года назад

I've never used the air cushions. Sounds really cool

@amateurmakingmistakes 7 месяцев назад

Thanks, Jonathon!! I just learnt two things within 2 minutes into your video: place something at the bottom of the dolly and lower the centre of gravity of any pedastal tools. And that's after the advice to wear some PPE. Steel cap boots, of course. Gloves? With metal, if it ain't hot or sharp, it could STILL damage flesh! Kudos to you!!

@ShutterUp 4 года назад

My father and I moved old school, multi-ton cast iron printing presses from time to time. Steel pipes under the machine to roll it across the floor worked well. A Steel Strong arm and 2x4 pieces to get them up on the pipes. We called those steel rollers tanks or trucks. The pipes are a cheap alternative.

@katzmosestools 4 года назад

Yeah that's a great idea

@nwngunner 4 года назад

I moved a #13,000 pound lathe with a crowbar and a stack of 1 1/2 round bar. The hardest part was getting it onto the first bar. Once that was done we used the fork truck to push it onto the 2ed bar stock. Once the entire thing was on the bars it moved relatively well. Most big machines have pockets or a tounge casted into the bases so you can get bottle Jack's into the machine to get it in the air.

@Fleenoreric 4 года назад

I did that today with my 1000 lbs bandsaw, I moved it 20’ across the shop. It only took 10 minutes by myself. I got the idea from my father when he moved his Bridgeport mill 20 years ago.

@MWMitman 4 года назад

To add an 8th: Pallet jacks are great for moving everything around. They wheel easier than the shop crane, and if you put your machines on pallets (free) you can skip buying mobile bases. Better yet, buy a motorized one, they go stupid cheap at auctions (I've bought them for as low as $25 in working condition) and make moving things up to several tons super easy once you get it on them (which the shop crane is great for).

@ehudgavron9086 4 года назад

Great summary... good way to start out with the safety rules... yes all movements should be called out and acknowledged! We do it with heavy machinery... aircraft... no reason to skimp on a few words or half a second while moving 1800lbs worth of stuff. Force is mass times acceleration and on Earth that works out to a 10lb weight falling 6 feet hitting with about 64 ft lbs. If your literal foot is 12" by 6" (1/2 square foot) that's like 128lbs falling on your foot. YES, Steel-toed boots! Much appreciate the video. I didn't know these things could be so easily rented. Kind of a hassle to get them TO the shop and OUT of the shop back to the store... but cheap :) Thanks! Ehud Tucson AZ

Just a heads up on the HF engine hoist, a 1Ton model is not the weight it lifts at the end extended. I'd go with the 2Ton. I also love my 500# scissor cart from HF,. Although i wish i got the 1 ton model. It also works as a simple cart or a mobile work surface. It is heavy but easily stores under a bench

@bobd5119 4 года назад

Thanks! I'd never heard of those equipment skates. To get my SawStop contractor saw out of its carton, I attached a come-along to the floor joists in my basement, and tied ropes around the saw. The saw lifted out upside down, so I rolled it over in mid-air. Come-alongs are sometimes called hand winches, I think. They're handy for dislodging snagged trees, too.

Depends on how big the lath is but these tools might be way to small for what your doing. Rent a fork truck and pull the lath on a flat bed trailer lower then a truck bed to the ground. One to move a car would be better, but somthing you can put a bobcat on.

@pattysherwood7091 2 года назад

I want to remove a small jointer sitting in a canned ham camper! My son was so strong! He put it in there in that small hallway. Now he is at rest and I am in limbo. I also have a nice table saw in our shop. We used a car lift with plywood, slid it out of the van, lowered the lift, and rolled it into place when we bought it. It sits on a metal frame with wheels. I have a large compressor, a large old metal brake, drill press, anvil on stand.. Now that I am alone people say I need to sell all the stuff. I can’t move the stuff! So I am using the work tables to sew quilts in a woodworking/ auto body shop where we used to make wooden frames and custom kitchens. And we restored a few cars. I have a nice dolly. And some skates for cars. I even have an engine hoist. A lot of machines are on wheels. I just love the shop , all the machines and tools and cabinets and shelves full of tools and stuff. Thanks for the video.

@Spade193 2 года назад

Excellent video with some great tips! Do you think the engine hoist would be suitable to lift a plywood box that is 7.55 ft long x 4.1 ft wide x 2.3 ft high and about 1,000 lbs? I’m hoping to stack one box on top of another that’s just 2.5 feet off the ground, and just don’t have access to a forklift/pallet stacker. Been trying to figure out a solution for this. Thanks!

Here what I would use to lift heavy loads. If you have available, two scaffolding. They are 6 feet tall and can hold up to 900 lbs. Set up both one on the top of the other, don't place the bed. Get a 4x4 and put across the smaller side. Get a winch and hang it on the 4x4, lift your load to desired height, place the bed under and low it down.

Very good job in all demonstrations at the minute <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="390">6:30</a>, I would lay down that machine in two pieces of 1x3x the length of the machine. This way it will be easier to insert the Johnson bar.

@pamtnman1515 3 года назад

outstanding video, very useful. I am trying to move around an old Bridgewood planer I bought. Initially it was moved with the tractor pallet forks and lift straps, but that was just to get it into the shop. It weighs about 550 pounds, way too heavy to bull around, and heavy enough to easily damage itself, and so step one I had to refabricate the stand with heavier steel. The original stand did not survive the move. But now it has to be lifted up off its side, and the tractor and lift straps are all off kilter. It dangles at these odd angles and cannot be set down level so it will stand evenly. I have an engine lift, but it is in another part of the state. So you gave me a lot of good ideas to try before buying another engine lift. Thank you

@bobd. 4 года назад

You give some good advice on moving shop equipment. I offer these comments based on my years of rigging all sorts of loads. . NEVER GET UNDER AN ELEVATED PIECE OF EQUIPMENT OR ANY LOAD. And be mindful you don't let your fingers or toes get under the load as you're moving it or when setting it down. Ask anyone with 9 fingers or toes why you shouldn't do this. . It's best to keep the load as low as possible when moving from one location to another. More or less drifting it across the floor just high enough so it's not contacting the floor. That way it can't fall very far, only an inch or two. . If you're going to use a chain hoist, you need to make sure what you are hanging the chain fall from can handle the load. The load INCLUDES the weight of the chain hoist and any rigging like straps or chains. I doubt most common garage ceiling joists are up to the task of lifting a 600# table saw plus the weight of the rigging. But whatever you are using for rigging gear, it all has to be sized to carry the load. And if you don't know what something weighs you have shouldn't be picking it up until you do. . If you are moving things within your shop work like an Egyptian. They didn't have chain falls, engine hoists, or Genies or other hoisting equipment, so they rarely picked things up. They elevated them onto rollers so they could move them. You can do the same with some lengths of 3/4 Sch. 40 pipe. With 3 or 4 pipe rollers you can easily move things with just a couple fingers. It can't fall because it's already on the ground.

@joeschmolinsky8546 Год назад

Thanks Jon. All very good, but you are assuming paved, level in to the shop. How about when you can't get a truck into your shop, and the nearest driveway has an upslope to where you would unload? Or when you need to move the machine up a grass and dirt slope to get to the shop door? I've had both these problems.

Lots of good information. One caution if you are moving your band saw is to not put the straps under the table. The trunnions are not strong enough to bear the weight of the rest of the saw and they are prone to cracking or breaking. You could lose the whole load very easily and damage the table which would be costly to replace.

Great advice

I expect you could do the same, just need a little bit larger ramp - it'd be steeper, but the planer isnt *too* tall and top heavy.

@@MWMitman Thanks for the reply and you are right, that would have worked for getting the planer into the shop (gee, wish I'd thought of that earlier). My current problem is getting it back out of the shop (moving to new location) so I think my only practical solution is to build an A-Frame that stradles the steps with a block and tackle arrangement that moves. An engine hoist as suggested by Jonathan will not work because the leading wheels are always under the load. I could try to slide the planer/engine hoist down the steps but don't want to end up on America's Funniest Videos skiing down steps with an 800 pound planer and then through a block wall as it finally slows down. After all, what's the worst that could happen right?

Drill press, tilt it over and take the head off on a woodworking or light duty drill press they are not very heavy even a 16" version.

Sliding heavy machine on concrete: I've heard sand on the floor make it easier?

You'd be surprised what you can move with a lever dolly and pieces of pvc pipe.

I worked in a machine shop 7 years I always wore tennis shoes. Or boots without steel toes. I handled bundles of bars 20' long 1" to 6" 30 to 100 a bundle If I droped one of them bundles on my foot with steel toed boots on id loose my toes either way. A steel toe boot won't protect your toes but the bundle could come back over your foots instep then you'll never walk agine on that foot. My biggest fear was dropping a 2 lb part on my foot. You learn to move your feet out of the way really dam fast becuse it hurts. You'll only do it once. Yes I got bitched at for not having the correct footwear but I didnt make enough money to support my family and buy 100 plus dollar shoes when my pay check then was 150 for 40 hours work. I got paid chiken shit. I've moved plenty of machinery without steel toe boots. The shop owners middle name was move it.

When you mentioned the block and tackle, I was thinking of this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M2w3NZzPwOM.html

I thought you’re not supposed to wear steel toes when lifting extremely heavy objects because if the object falls on your foot it could press the steel toe into your toes and cut them clean off

that's a myth, lol mythbusters busted that in season 3

@jefflanz5067 Год назад

Dude not trying to hate on your show but if you’re going to show someone how to use machine dollies then first you need to learn the right way. You need to put plywood on top of the dollie and then sit the machine down onto them. If you tell people to sit the machine onto the dollies they will just be waiting for that machine to slide off and hurt them most likely.

Are you kidding? You need a video on how to move a drill press? I'm trying to move a 22,000 pound mill in the next few hours, or lose it and this is the best you tube has for moving heavy stuff. The stuff I am gonna try moving it with weigh more than your tools and equipment and I used wheel barrows.
