Hello All,
I'm finally getting my 1st "real" machine delivered. Quote from the rigging company is $1800 to get it off the truck and 50' into the shop. I have a forklift rated @ 5700lb and the machine is ~5000lb. The heaviest thing I've used it on is around 2000lb. I also have the slide-on extendable fork legs for extra reach. I don't want to push my luck on a brand new machine if this is remotely risky, I just haven't done anything that heavy. If I use the rigging company is it customary to get a copy of their insurance policy etc.? Am I being paranoid ?. I'm a noob at rigging, so any advice appreciated.
