My Rigger places a fork truck under a pallet which the machine is bolted to it, while on the shop floor. He then braces the upper most part of the machine against the fork truck lifting frame so it can't tip back and also criscrosses a chain so it can't move left or right. He then drives the fork truck and pallet/machine, to the edge of the roll back that is touching the floor with the "forks toward the rollback". He then attaches his rollback winch cable to the fork truck (this has to be done properly!!!). He then winches the machine/fork truck (tires rolling-no friction) up the inclined rollback. It then comes off in reverse the same way. Just to remind you for your own financial situation, he is INSURED, and provides me a current copy of his policy.
