    Mori Seiki MV Junior through 7' high opening?

    I am looking at Purchasing a Mori Seiki MV Junior 1990 30 atc I would need to get this machine in my shop. The door opening is 7' high by 12' wide. I asked the owner to measure the height with the head down and he said the 30 tool atc was at 8'. The ceiling height in the shop is 12' so that should not be a problem, but I am worried about how involved it would be to get it in there.

    Questions-
    How hard would it be to remove the atc or at least lower it enough to get it in the shop?

    How involved of a process would this be? A few hours or few days?

    or are there other issues with this machine that would make it impossible to get through this opening.

    Any help or speculation would be appreciated I am confident in my mechanical abilities to do it just want to know more before I commit to the machine

    Thanks
    Trent

    You might be able to get some sheet metal off the magazine, but to remove it completely would be major.

    Hello, we had a same problem here, needed to take apart the machine.

    We have 16 tool ATC and it was quite heavy, 200-300kg for sure.
    Could you take a photo od your MV junior?
