I am planning to pick up a MC760 from a trailor with a crain. are there any lifting points on the machine that I can use? or is there any part of the machine that I can pick it up from? it is said to weigh about 11,000 lbs and I just want to be prepaired and not get caught with the shipping guy waiting on me to come up with some half craized idea at the last moment. thanks guys

well I unloaded the CNC machine, the paperwork online says that it weighs 11000lbs, I dont think this is correct. a large forklift that had an unuasualy hard time picking it up, now I know that it is not quantitive but he sais that it must weigh more then 12000 lbs. anyway I built a crain over the weekend to unload it. it worked. I designed its working load limit for about 15000 lbs, it was still iffy. but its down now. and now I have a new old machine!

by the way in case anyone wants to know, there is a set of holes in the top of the vertical part of the base casting that are about 3 inches in diameter. I was able to pick it up by sliding a heavy pipe through the hole and slinging to the pipe. it still took a while to get it off but it worked.
