That man should be one my dispatchers. Not knowing weights, dimensions, how things get moved and not knowing what equipment is needed to move something seems to be prerequisites to being a dispatcher

If machines were worth it I could send my Dad over there with a 1 ton and a trailer but it would be expensive to transport out - There would be like few hundred for the ferry alone plus gas from Calgary would be like $400. Would need to make at least $1000 profit to make this whole thing be worth while.
You probably could put in 4400 lbs in a 1 ton dually truck - my 1 ton can handle legally just over 1.5t. Bed is 8ft long.

I picture this scenario...
Years back, my dad had an 10 ft camper that he hoped to carry with his 1968 Ford F-100 Ranger. He did put it on but the doors wouldn't close...
Not being one to back down from a challenge he had the frame fish-plated, swapped in a 4.56 geared Dana 60 1-ton rear end, with the overloads. Knowing that stopping is also important he swapped in the front brakes from an F350.
He also added a Borg-Warner overdrive transmission because 4.56 gears are silly on the highway.
He basically built a 1-ton... probabaly not cost effective but he ended up with a seriously capable truck.

Sweet!
Where are you advertising this stuff that you found buyers for everything?
I used Facebook Marketplace and Used.com.
The PEMserter presses, Kenco press and G&L grinder sold on FB marketplace.
The oven and 22 ton press sold on Used.com
I have had excellent success with FB marketplace both as a buyer and a seller.

The green thing is a 22 ton press that went to a local fabrication shop.
Grey is the Parker Majestic surface grinder that got me into this mess and the one item I’m keeping
And the yellow is a 10x24 Gallmeyer & Livingston surface grinder that went to Vancouver to a couple of young gents who are putting it into a single garage [emoji50]

No it’s just blocked up.
My pallet jack was wider than the base which meant the blocking was narrower than I wanted. I added another block on the left side.
It’s completely filthy so I want to clean the exterior before I move it into position.
