I just ordered a 500 lb lathe from Acme tools. I paid for the liftgate service. How have you gotten your heavy lathes into your workshops after delivery? It will have to come through my garage and up a set of four stairs to get into the shop.
He's got to have one to get cargo onto the liftgate. Beyond just getting it on the ground, depends on the driver.I was planning on pizza and beer and some disassembly/re-assembly. If the driver has a pallet jack, we are all set. I'm more concerned about if he doesn't. o they usually?
The new Nova Nebula. Once we get it into the garage, I'm pretty sure it can be disassembled o get it up the stairs and into the shop.What kind of lathe is it? I just moved my Jet 1642 by myself after disassembling it.

Thanks for the tip!Looks like a nice lathe. Our club has an old nova DVR - lots of power, stable for roughing, terrible controls.
Nova put decent controls on the nebula.
The head stock will be heavy and with the controller wires you don’t want to pull loose or damage.
Sadly no one local has a tractorFriend with a tractor if you have uneven ground to go over?
My Kubota BX22 is sitting in the background.
My neighbor's BX25 has better lift capacity.
