So on Friday I had a nice, shiny (From all the coolant that somehow managed to get everywhere, not because it was actually clean), used Hurco VM10UHSi show up. Planned everything perfectly. Shipper showed up at 8:40, did his paperwork, riggers showed up right on time at 9 and got that sucker off of there in 10 minutes to let the shipper go on their way. Everything was going fine right up until we tried to put said machine in the garage. The machine was not 73" with the head all the way down. It was 90". 86" from the feet to the casting, then about another 4" for the electrical cabinet and arm for the control. Figured I would be spending hours on that I sent the riggers home.
Now I need to figure out how to get this beneath the garage door. I could cut into the header, but there is the potential that it is load bearing. I tried taking the machine apart, but that starts getting into really risky territory. Not sure what to do now. Tuesday I'm gonna call up Foothills Machinery and see if they can take it apart and also call a carpenter to see if they can cut a hole out in the header. Anyone got advice for getting this in there that doesn't involve ramming speed?
