Happy to report, I will be moving into my new shop over the next few weeks. So... here's my situation for moving the machine:
PRS Alpha 9660. No door openings to move it flat. Largest set of double doors opens to 72", while machine's frame measures 78". :o
Thought: Remove gantry and control box. Here's the spooky part; try to "roll" machine up onto one side, onto heavy duty machine casters, roll out the doors.
Once I pass those doors, I can set back flat, place onto trailer and deliver to new shop 15 minutes away.
Am I risking damage to critical pieces by temporarily laying on it's side? As in, could it collapse a leg under it's own weight? Seems sturdy enough to try, but any input is more than welcome. Would rather not dis-assemble completely, but certainly don't want to risk damage to my old pal...
