Hi everyone.
Soon I need to make a 650 mile trip to pickup a Birmingham 1236 metal lathe. It has been converted to CNC so it weighs slightly less than a full gear head lathe but still ~1000lbs. I want to put it in the bed of my Nissan Titan King cab (think extended cab).
My challenge - The place I am buying it from does not have a roll up door at ground height - only semi docks.
My plan is to haul the lathe off the stand on a pallet in the bed of my truck.
So my choices are
1. Roll...
