I'm looking for a recommendation of a machinery mover to move my Hardinge HLV. The lathe needs to be moved from a commercial building without a loading dock to another building 26 miles away, also a commercial facility. Concrete floor and no level changes, stairs or other major obstacles.
The guy that delivered the machine to me was good, but he's upgraded to a larger and nicer truck (that can handle really big machines) and has had to raise his rates accordingly. All I need is a guy that can handle moving the one HLV lathe and hopefully has reasonable rates.
I'm in the process of a personal and business relocation out of state and the costs so far have been very high. So I'm hoping to find someone that can do the job competently but at a lower cost.
As an example, the guy I mentioned above, when he moved my Schaublin lathe with his smaller truck in 2013 was happy with $150.- cash (it was about an 8 mile move).
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
