moving copiers

[V-P]

I saw a web site copierlift.com selling lifting and moving mechanism.

Anyone tried them ?

Anyone has a cheaper solution ?

We need smth like that for our guys to transport copiers at customers place instead of carrying them with arms.

Actually the guys need some tool to move the new copiers when they are still in original box with the wooden pallet underneath.
I don't know if this system is good also for putting it under the pallet.

The wheels look only slightly larger and maybe quieter than the wheels on the copier base would have.

The advantage would likely be you would only need one person, I'd guess ?? maybe not.
If you have 2 people you could lift it onto a flat cart to move it.

We have one of the large, hand crank with fork lift type arms, I think it was $$ but we have used the hell out of it. Use it to unload boxed machines from the semi trailer, lift and remove large machines in & out of the truck bed for deliveries (on a flat pallet)

Do it the good old teutonian way: 4 men 4 edges and up to go; saves time and money

Ps.: in rare extremly cases, we disembowle the mashines as far as possible to make it lighter
