Yes, and used a 200$ pallet jack to move the pallets around in the shop. Then to remove the machine, I cut junk wood 2x material and slipped it under the machine to hold up pallet top slats. Nailed them in place to form a base narrow enough to roll engine hoist around. Then Cut the pallet sides off, rolled hoist over machine, rigged it. lifted it off pallet and moved into place over the base. Getting the engine hoist over the base was the big challenge for me. I took my time and raised base with cribbing to get engine hoist to roll under it. Set it bolted it and then removed cribbing and lowered the entire machine and base with floor jacks. Took my time and all was fine
In total it took 40+ hours of work to set my machine up with only basic options. No easy task for 1 person.
