Thread: Best way to move 200+kg of saw

I was going to suggest a 600 kg gorilla would be the best way but I hear the world is running out of them fast. Anyhow, I had to move my table saw (250 kg) into my new Shed in Tasmania, in September, off my trailer and what I did is tie a fridge trolley with ratchet ties around the table saw and trolley and then tilt it till it balanced and then wheeed it off into the shed. I did this all by my self but a second set of hands would have been nice.

Get stuffed Cliffy! (is the edited version of what springs to mind )

The only thing that left for me was to remove the pallet from underneath it, and I was able to do it alone. I didn't have any gravel between truck and workshop though, but it seems that plywood is your friend there.

This is exactly what happened and the pallet jack handled the gravel with ease - the driver did a big part of the heavy lifting (pulling) while I pushed and all was well.
