620 lb graphics printer.
Dimensions : 84" x 57" x 30"
All the weight is supported by 4 casters at the ends. Going to use rubber pads between printer and pallet, as that his how Canon/Oce ship these printers.
What I would like to know is: what size lumber should I use to make the pallet ; keeping in mind all the weight is going to bear down via the 4 corners where the printer meets the rubber pads. ?
2" x 4" , 2" x 6" ??
Machine is going to NJ then Russia.
Below you see a similar printer on a proprietary Pallet the manufacturer (Canon/Oce) uses. Yes I will ask Canon what size lumber they used but would like to build pallet this weekend.
Below is my machine
Per Milacron's advice I won't be using OSB for the crate sides but rather Plywood. So 3/8" thick plywood suffice or need to go thicker?
