Hey All,
I'm hoping to put a VMC on the floor in the next year or two, and don't want to have to jig up some channel iron extensions for the random fork lift I borrowed again.
There's no one within two hours that has a big enough forklift to lift a machine, but small enough to get into a building. I would be calling them from Calgary to drive 5 hours out, set the machine in place and drive back.
I'm having a hard time looking up anything machining specific, so some details might help.
What should people be looking for when they select a rigger?
Is there a certain type of forklift that's suited to setting machines?
I'd like to hear any experiences you've all got.
