I would like to transport my Okuma LB 10 ii M lathe to a new location but I do not have lifting hooks for it. I am looking for drawings of the lifting hooks from okuma or just pictures of what they look like.
I would think that they use a decent fork truck, machine is about 3.5 tonne, so you need one that can lift that weight.
If you are to sling it by crane, don't attach to spindle chuck or tailstock, see if there is holes in the bed casting for shackles. Don't allow sling to put any pressure on the outer cabinet as it would distort it.
In the case if no fork lift available, soft lifting belts through the bottom of casting allowed for this machine.
Apply fixtures for turret X and Z. Fix tailstock also. Empty hydraulic oil tank and coolant system.
