Wear is consistent with a 1986 machine. Still interpolates circles well due to glass scales. Spindle service and memory batteries are up to date.

Hi,
I’m interested but will need some time to see about transportation. Any recommendations for a rigging company? Who is bringing the new one?
Thanks,
H.

I do not know who is the incoming rigger yet. If I had to guess, it'd be Lawson Drayage out of Hayward. I would also guess that their price to rig out the green machine as the only job would be cost-prohibitive. I need the green machine out so I can prep and shuffle things around for the new machine, and don't have space to store anything.

In order of decreasing cost I'd look at:

-Lawson Drayage (Lawson Drayage Inc - A Complete Moving Solution for You)

-Gary Aragon or his sub, Mike (Our Services)
When needing to move my Aciera F-5 across the bay 15 miles, I called Gary and he referred me to a guy named Mike who had a heavy single-axle roll-back truck with a forklift on it. The fee was $700.

-Rent a drop-deck trailer and a pallet jack (That's how I'd do it.) You would need to have or rent a truck capable of towing.

In the first post: "Ground level access, but I cannot load. Control cabinet weight ~600 lb, base machine weight ~2800 lb. Located in Redwood City, CA."

Hmmmmm - - - - I'm curious - - - what are you buying?
Buying nothing until the green machine is out of the way, but considering a small 40-taper basic VMC like DN Solutions DEM4000, Bridgeport V710, Bridgeport GX710, or Sharp SV2412. My biggest challenge is ceiling height, so most basic 40-taper machines, including Haas, will hit the ceiling at maximum Z. I am tired of manually changing tools and chips flying everywhere, so am chasing a fully-enclosed machine with automatic tool changer.

Hmmmm - - - - if you are stuck because of ceiling height - - - - maybe cut out a section of concrete big enough for the base of the machine and drop your concrete down the 2 or 3 inches you need for your z height.
(I've found sometimes the long way around is the faster way of getting somewhere.)

Just to close this one out, I ended up with a DN Solutions DEM 4000 VMC. Vierra Trucking out of Castro Valley, CA, handled the transportation from the DN Solutions warehouse in LA and rigging into my garage for a reasonable price. I would recommend them. I had to cut and restore the garage door header, but did not have to modify the ceiling height once inside the building.
