Moving Table?

[talonwelding&fabrication]

Hello, First time poster! We have a 5x10 STV table in our shop, which will be merging with another local shop. We received the table in pieces and have only had it here. That being said we have to relocate it to it's new home, and are wondering how other people have transported theirs? We would like to transport in one piece- for obvious ease of time and taking apart, however- we are worried about lifting and tweaking one of the axis tracks, or tweaking anything else in general (being 5x10 I personally think its a little big for the forks to properly hold). Anyone have any good ways they've moved theirs, such as only partly disassembling, or anything to look out for? Or anyone move theirs in one piece and everything continued to work/cut perfectly fine? Thank you for any advice will be appreciated!

Not familiar with your brand of table but if it has a tubular frame I imagine that you can just pick it up from the long side and move it in 1 piece. Once at the new location a little time to level it and be sure all axis are working smooth should be all it takes to be back up and running in the new location. Good luck with your move

You could build a spreader bar and pick it at six or more points

Or put it on temporary wheels or large casters and just roll it up onto your trailer. I used to do the same with large car bodies I was loading to take to the sand blaster.
