I have all the manuals and even called mazak ...3 times now and I keep hearing the machine weighs 10.5k? The larger bridge comes in at almost 12k? The Internet says 14k to 15k. And the riggers said almost 20k?!! Please who's ever moved one around please give me a real world idea. I bought one a week ago and well...tried to .....well actually put one on a rented penske 33,000lb straight truck (18k payload). And we were scared with what the riggers said we'd be over weight and since my dumbass rented a single axle not knowing better it felt top heavy and my buddy with the cdl got scared after a 3mile an hour speed bump and with what the riggers put in our heads ....we didn't want the 10k overwieght fine and the cost of being stranded so we decided to find another way to get it home to pa from Illinois ...regardless Its still there and I really want it home before I loose the parameters. (New battery in it though) another thing a rigging outfit says that It's to much machine for my garage? My floor is at least 5in. (Couldn't drill any further) and wants to store it at his warehouse and I can even hook it up and just pay the extra utility with the dollar square foot rent. To good to be true rite? Then it turns out the hours I can go (play) are the same I work so that idea is shot to hell.now I've been working on mazak for 18 years now and I'm extadic to now actually own one to be able to make whatever, whenever! (Life long dream) so, Apparently ajv's are heavier they actually do hit the 18k to 20k mark. Mazak says casting is different. Mine has the 24 tool carousel. No arm , just drum. So please. Fill me in on what you guys used to move it around. Guy down the street has a forklift rated for 13.5k. And after last weekend I'm thinking rent 2 just in case? Or is my manual and mazak correct? And the 13.5k will work?
