DIY How to lift and move a lathe? Lifting & Moving Lathe Solutions 900 kg!!

[@mijodo2008]

Well done Brother, nice engineering. I recovered my Lathe from an old backyard shed in return for helping the owner move. I moved it up a 3 metre incline over a distance of 100 metres, across a soft lawn, then up a ramp onto the back of my truck. The lathe was originally from an old WW2 Liberty Ship. I used two small platforms made from timber and unistrut with caster wheels, fixed to the pedestal bases, and winched it with a chain block, utilizing two wide planks in a 'pick up from behind and place in front' technique. It took me 9 hours on my own. Finally loaded it in the dark and almost lost it winching, when a timber ramp started to break. Threw a temporary chock under it. Lovely old Lathe. Cleaned it up and painted it Battle Ship Grey. With your technique, you could move shipping containers as well. Top job Mate. Cheers from Michael. Australia.

Great job and that jack will come in handy. For anyone else watching that kind of jack is called a toe jack and bigger versions are used to lift shipping containers high enough for a forklift to get under them. They’re not cheap, even a little like this, so I’d have made my own as well. I have my machines mounted on custom made pallets made out of railway sleepers and I use a pallet jack to move them around. I have never seen a lathe delivered with the floor still attached 😂😂😂. I think you have received some unfairly harsh comments. I don’t understand why people are negative or nasty, they should just say nothing. Cheers and well done. I hope you enjoy the lathe. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

Wow. Well done mate

[@anthonyfrigo3357]

What web site did you use to purchase the casters? Thanks

[@johnswilley6764]

Beautiful job! Thanks for sharing.

[@tartorstyx5104]

11'57'' I am wondering why you don;t show the movement of the wheels on plain ground.

[@nobackhands]

Why did you cut the first two sections by hand with a side grinder, when you had a horizonal band saw to cut the third?

[@elenaisidromangas5018]

Yo moví un torno de 1500kg Usamos 8 ruedas y vigas u a modo de raíl Unas ruedas de patinete no lo mueven por la tierra A pesar de todo el carrito debe ser útil para moverlo sobre asfalto...

[@yuniercampos9802]

Super genial la idea, pero para piso de concreto liso, no para suelos blandos

[@vitormartins2996]

É uma ferramenta para um fim muito específico, mas parabéns pela inteligência pra criar. Impressionante!

[@roberthernandez5134]

Love the video. Gave me some ideas for my own projects. But I have 1?. Did you have any problems with the casters sinking into the soft ground? That part was edited out. Thanks.

[@Newterafox]

Yes, there were problems. We put plywood sheets under the rollers.

Отлично придумал.

Ganz toll gemacht spitze. Gutes Andwerk👍👍👍🛠🛠🛠💪💪✅

[@Halfwheelhell]

amazing little system, but no way those wheels helped you move on dirt/ ground. or did it? the video cut. I bet it was a breeze to move after you got it on concrete.

[@Man-in-da-shed]

I didn’t know where you was going with this at the beginning, but in the end. Elegant yet simple.

[@franciscomunguia9775]

Todo esta bien menos el uso del calibrador o pie de rey esa herramienta es de uso delicado unicamente para medir no para usarlo como gramil

[@AdaptingCamera]

Ha... ha... :-) you did not show how you dragged it into the shop. That was the moment I was waiting for. Drag it inside the shop is no big deal, but those wheels you made, while look nice, would not work on the soft soil the lathe was on outside.

[@mikevidal4896]

I was wondering how that would roll on the soft dirt.

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

been there sheet 5/8 plywood pry bar then when get to solid surface pieces of bar stock...never fails friends show up after the fact ..hey bro ya could have waited

[@AdaptingCamera]

@@miguelcastaneda7236 Yes, but he is not doing that in the video. He shows like if he dragged in that machine on those DIY castors through the soft surface of dirt and grass.

[@pauls5745]

3:25 oh that is sketchy! no guarantee the drill bit is vertical and just is a mishap waiting to happen

Ótimo trabalho bem eficiente prático para movimentação

That was ingenious. ! 👍 Where did the red rollers come from ?

[@Newterafox]

were purchased in an online shop

[@juliocastillosobarzo9902]

Muy bueno algo muy útil cuando necesitamos mover algo muy pesado y aquí te dan el paso a paso Gracias por el video

[@hackish1]

Interesting project. The design and fabrication were not terribly inspiring, but I was wondering what casters you used.

[@albertanochavez7530]

Esta chido para no maltratar el piso ,algo costoso

You asked for comment..the real story would have been how well those twinky rollers worked in the dirt...there are lots of posts on making lifts out of bottle jacks on the net!

[@ARIFINLATHE]

The power of the jack is up to TON, sir

Не показали как в гараж затаскивали, думаю что одному не справится))

[@ТатьянаЛарионова-ф7г]

А зачем нужны были шплинты в осях колесиков (про размер колесиков и материал - это вообще отдельный вопрос)? От отворачивания гаек они все равно не защитили бы, ибо гайки "не той конструкции" и отверстия для шплинтов далеко от гайки просверлены, а другого значения у шплинтов (в данной конструкции) , вроде как, и нет... И зачем столько сил/времени было тратить на данную конструкцию - она (конструкция) "однодневка", переместили станок и забыли про нее (конструкцию). Не каждый же день двигать станок будете?!

[@wateskajen4563]

Wao.... By las wates

[@toastyovens8777]

nice video except for the music

[@dzl6848]

For the time you spent on making them and material you could of bought them cheaper and a higher weight load. I found them for less them 50 bucks. I've been in the rigging business for over 20 years. I know why you edited the film from when you set that down on the grass. Doesn't roll that easy.

Hello

[@sybrandtgrobler2795]

Dont use the vernier to make a mark,, no respect for tools,,, make yourself a sharp marker or something. Crap music too

[@michaelidarecis]

Nice build however call BS on moving that in the gravel with the wheels. Straight up NONSENSE. You need to put plywood under the lathe to move in gravel dirt and know this because that is how am always moving lathes up to 1,900.00 pounds. Showing the cut to movement on concrete was ghetto. Am being harsh because you made the video on the dirt then show it on concrete.
