Once you get it lifted (can you get a skid loader in there?) you could bolt a rack dolly to the bottom to enable future scootching. Depending on how top heavy it is.

Or just tip it back and forth and jam a piano dolly under it. You might get away with soap or grease on the floor and scootch it. _____ From: AF <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > on behalf of Josh Luthman <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, October 12, 2026 2:07 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 2-post rack lifter Can't you just bolt something to the front/back of the rack and then raise them with a bottle jack (or big ass car jack)? Might be a little hard on those two screws would be my only concern.

It was a small hydraulic jack with a L-shaped bracket that fit between the top of the lift and bent to the floor. It took two, one for each side of the machine. You lift the machine off of the floor and then slide a pallet-jack mover under the machine and move it to where you need it. Then use the small jacks to get the machine off the pallet-jack. The bracket is all you need if you have the other three components handy.

It'd be so easy if I could just lift them up 4 or 5 inches and slip a steel dolly under each one. -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
