Moving a lathe from up north.

TonyBee · 18th January 2007, 19:11

I have the opportunity of a free Myford super 7 but I have to get it from Darwen, Lancs down to Saltash, Cornwall.
Does anyone on here have any idea where I can start to look for someone to transport the thing?
I know it is a long shot, but if you do not ask, you do not get.
I nearly wrote how can i-shift it but resisted the temptation. Dohh!

Thanks in anticipation.

Right... how heavy/large is it?

Wow! That was quick.
I will get that info and let you know.
They are approx. 5 feet long, 4 feet high and 2 feet deep.
It is, in the present owner's words, "Chuffin' heavy".
Probably 100Kg, maybe more.
I am trying a google search for the weight.
Here is one on ebay, so it will be the same:

Basically your best bet is a specialist courier. Might be able to help find something.
