lots of good suggestions above. On this machine, the knee and the head will create a forward imbalance. this will stress the front part of the dovetails far more than the rear. it is much larger than
@Susquatch hartford milling machine.
- I'm judging it is somewhere around 4200 lbs?
FWIW
First be sure your telehandler can handle the weight.
When I moved my 3,300 lb First mill, I took the head off to lower the centre of gravity, and even the balance front to back. (175 lbs 6 feet up)
-- it may be easier to take the whole ram assembly off at the pivot. There are only 4 skimpy 10" long bolts holding the pivot to the top of the column..... It will also take about 470 lbs of high mass making it a *lot* less tipsy.
If you do that, your safest move is to lift it onto a pallet and securely strap it to the pallet., and use the pallet forks of the telehandler. This is how they are all shipped - on a pallet, bolted through with 1/2" bolts.
-- this assumes that at home you have the lifting equipment to put the ram assembly back on top of the column!
