    How many lbs. does it weigh?

    What is height, length and width?

    It looks like it has holes on the bottom that would allow for it to be bolted onto blocks of wood/reinforced pallet and shipped in a closed van trailer.

    48" x 48" x 72" at 5000 lbs. Seems like it would be better on a open trailer to get it off here. Will only have access to standard forklift here. Yall would know better tho. Thanks much for the help.

    Tried UShip first thing, three times what the lathe cost. Just can't do that. With the rigger costs its four times. Got to be more cost effective way. Thanks

    You left out the part that the lathe probably has a weight of 5 ton if not more. It is the cost of getting that lathe out from where it is and onto a trailer that will be the greatest amount cost. As well as at the destination of removing it from the trailer and getting it to where it needs to go. Cranes or forklifts that manage 5 ton plus are never cheap.

    I have a lathe bigger than that one and hauled it on a 16 ft flatbed trailer. 5000 pounds tops probably less.
