moving machinery upstairs
Hi
Has anyone got any advise on moving plotters, jv33 and 1370 wide laminator to a second floor of my unit?
I’m just having a small upstairs section built in my unit to save on floor space and also to keep expensive machines out of the way and a bit cleaner (got quite a dusty unit)
I believe there was a posting about moving a versacamm upstairs a while back but I can’t seam to find it……..
I thought about getting a forklift and just lifting the big 2 machines upstairs on pallets maybe?
thanks

that’s how i did mine, when the room was built a section was made removable 900mm x 2000mm this allows the machines to be swung in or out without too many problems at a later date etc. I did mine off the stand, put the stand up first then the printer, lift the printer off the forks straight on to the stand. Hope this helpsKev

Forklift definitely!, would not recommend doing it manually after shifting a printer & laminator upstairs last month :no1:

We have moved our Versacamm out of an upstairs window. I took out the glass and then hired a scissor lift and slid the printer (already off the stand through the access gate and then lowered down and then lifted straight back onto the stand.
Worked well but was also a great relief to see it back on the stand.
Cheers

We moved our JV33 printer and Easymount Laminator 1.6M in through the window using just a fork lift, this was a nightmare.
We had to take them out about 6 months ago this time we hired scaffolding and built a platform outside the window then forklifted from the platform, much more sane.
