I just purchased a 2001 Bridgeport TC-1G, which will be delivered 8/4. Does anyone have any information on how to handle unloading from a flatbed? Does this have fork pockets like other VMC's or do you lift via overhead crane or what works best?  |

| Be careful. Base is very narrow so it will tip over easy. Most riggers use a forklift. George

That's what they recommended, problem is I only have access to a 6000# forklift or a very, very large forklift. Does the machine actually have fork pockets? |

If no forklift pockets, are there provisions (lifting eyes) for lifting with an overhead crane? |

| seems to me that my current vmcs were set on blocks and the feet lowered down to get the blocks out pockets might be nice, but frequently would be of no use, since often one must reposition the forklift to get them in place, IE in a corner riggers are clever, worry not |
