These are the guys I used and at the time and their prices were very reasonable, the guys really knew what they were doing, and they were fast.
http://daysmachinerymovers.com/ Perhaps you can catch them in Chicago doing some work in the area. When they moved that lathe, they brought a semi trailer with a hydraulic tail, the 30,000 lb fork truck with a riggers boom, a gang box that had literally tons of cables, and chains in it. The had a spreader bar setup to grab the lathe at it's lifting eyes. When they were done they loaded everything onto their semi truck/trailer in about 15 minutes and they were gone. All of their equipment was in great shape. Moving the 23,000 lb lathe was a minor and easy job for them. With a 15,000 lb forklift you can easily lift one of that and put it skates under the lifted end and push it around from the other end with the fork truck. Either way, I am sure they are going to make you get it out of there before you can cut it up for scrap. >>Tooling: I do not believe so, unfortunately. That can be a huge cost on a machine like that. But Warner and Swasey made some really nice machines. They had some very good iron. If the CNC control is GE, then the drives and likely GE also. I know a guy who might have some parts and manuals for that control if you decide to get it going. Here is a video of a newer one running. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiwzBdau6Jg Here is a Warner Swasey on Youtube also.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2ggOpntUUE Dave On 6/9/2012 10:32 AM, Igor Chudov wrote: > On Fri, Jun 8, 2012 at 9:56 PM, Dave<[email protected]> wrote: > > >> On 6/8/2012 7:09 PM, Igor Chudov wrote: >> >>> I bought this turret punch >>> >>> http://igor.chudov.com/misc/ebay/tmp/Blackhawk-Steel/IMG_9572.JPG >>> >>> It is really huge and I wanted to part it out and scrap.
