You may want to think about using furniture movers and slide it on the floor. We did that with the ARGOS. I HIGHLY suggest you remove all lead prior to moving.

As such, our professional riggers / high heavy load lift personnel oversee all such movements. Based on the description of the unit I would highly recommend that any such attempted movement involve personnel with expertise in this area. ********************************************************************** Seth J.

Gunter, CHP Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2013 10:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Powernet: moving Pb shield - advice needed Greetings All, We are trying to move a Canberra Model 747 Pb shield into a room and onto its stand and need some advice. We can get it into the room with a forklift and even set it onto the stand, but must then move it about 10 feet. We are concerned with moving it while loaded on the stand as it will be top heavy. We cannot get the forklift into the room. The unit weighs 3000 lbs and has lifting eyes. I am sure someone out there has done this and can give some advice. I would much prefer to lift the device onto the stand once in the room, but am not familiar with small enough portable equipment capable getting into the room through a 36" door and lifting this 3000 lb device. Another way we could do this is to load it onto the stand with a forklift from outside the room and then "slide" it over about 10 feet. This does not seem like a very safe way to do this since it is so top heavy. Perhaps there are lifting devices that can be rented? Any advice would be appreciated. Yours, Rob Robert J.
