four post lift question

[Scott R]

I found a very good deal on a four post lift, the 9000lb named brand type. My question is how to move the thing? The owner says the two main ramps are 600lbs a piece and contain the hydraulic rams. Anyone moved one of these before?

Move it around your garage or from location "A" to "B"? Assuming the latter, you either have to disassemble or figure out how to winch it up on a flat-bed. When delivered new, they come in crates and you need a forklift to unload from the truck.

Point A to Point B. I'm thinking I should contract a moving company then.

I've seen them moved on flatbeds. Call a towing company and see what they say.

I helped a friend move one on a car trailer. Heavy as hell, but it worked.

Did you just pull the heavy section with chains or something? I can't pass this up it has alignment casters and drip trays, all of it.
