Machinery pickup and store in Berne, IN

NewTown · Oct 14, 2010

I just bought 2 old Oliver machines from an auction in Berne and would like to find someone to pick them up some time next week (Oct 18-20) and store them for me until the 24th or 25th. Yesterday morning they changed the last removal date to the 20th from the 22nd

I was given a quote by a rigger today that was downright scary (more than double what I paid for the 2 machines). If someone would be able to pick these up for me, I would greatly appreciate it. I'll happily pay for any/all transportation costs.

Here are some photos and as much information as I have.

The first is a '40s vintage mortiser. It weighs about 400-450lbs and is just under 6ft tall.

The second is a 24" Oliver planer from '46. It weighs 2000lbs and has a rough footprint of 5' x 4' x 5' tall.

I just got off the phone with the auction company and a rigger. There will be a rigger on site Monday thru Wednesday next week and for $150 will load on a truck. I'll happily cover the loading fee if someone can pick these up for me.

As I find out more information, I'll be sure to post it.
