o/t moving machinery state to state

[jrykrl]

I need to find a mover to take my little manual mill, and my medium sized cnc from so cal to Az.

any ideas would be appreciated.

I don't have a large budget, but don't want some fly by night jokers who may drop them.

Me too good guys and seemed reasonalbe on the price. To be honest I might look at renting a flat bed and a forklift and doing it yourself. Might come out about 1/2 to do it yourself. You can get them to drop off the forlift at your house here for a half day and then do the same there. I can help you with the loading but can't drive to Arz. to help you unload.

Aww c'mon Ron. It's beatiful out there. 1.5 hrs north of Phoenix, so no triple digit temps!!

Feed up with California???

[jrykrl]

Yep, and I'm a native. born in downey, high school in La Mirada, Never lived out of state except for my military service.

Not even up north, always so cal.

My wife's job will be moving to Yuma in about 5 years. We will probably move with it. I don't

see much Mastercam stuff in Yuma right now, but

its growing like a weed. A lot of businesses are

headed east these days.

 

For machinery moving try the Walker Brothers.

I don't know their phone number, but they are in the Yellow Pages. I knew them when they were a couple of kids out of high school with 1 overhead rail trailer. Now they've got a fleet of lowboys.

They will be cheaper than the Dunkel Bros.

[jrykrl]

Dunkel wants a lot.

I'll call Walker bros next.

Hi

Calling the movers and trying to get a deal when they are all busy may be impossable to get a deal.

I did it myself with a beefy low boy rented trailer to move a mold shop to Phenix once.

 

Also for a really cheap move------

All machines have about a 6" bottom on them . If you just dragg it, you will only use about 2" and

you will still have two moves left.

This is the best advice I have seen in years - one to write in the Newengland Journal of Manufacturing for sure...

Thanx guys for the info, I'll try the baby brother tomorrow, but so far walkers has the best price.

I think Baby Brother is one of the Dunkel Brothers

who has his own small company. The guy is size size of a small barn. I've seen him move a Victor

1640 engine lathe by bumping it with his butt

[jrykrl]

I might go with Walkers, just to keep the bun prints off the mills!!!

talk about cushion! geez!

Whoever you get, please be sure that they have air-ride trailers....not everyone does. Air-ride takes alot of thumps, bumps and vibrations away from your machines. If you ever move as far east as West Virginia call me, maybe we can move it for you!. ~~~~~~~Shady
