Moving a CMM B&S 4.5.4 Older

[blackwolf4278]

Hi everyone. I have maybe a silly question, which I already have an answer to most likely, just want to see what all of you think.

So I might be buying an Older 4.5.4 B&S and I need to move it 900miles, it won’t fit into my E350 standing up as its 87” tall, but It will fit if I lay it down, i dont know how critical that might be thought.

Can anyone explain the cons?

A CMM as in Coordinate Measuring Machine ?

I would not lay one of those down unless its on the way to the scrapyard.

Why not standing up......most authorities allow 14ft max height ,so no problem there....Just secure it properly,and drive sensibly.

Thanks everyone for the replies, so as I thought I wouldn't put the machine horizontally.

Because he would have to cut the roof out of his van to do that....
