Unloading a press.

American Industrial Werks unloads a heavy press with two forklifts and pushes it into position. This is the first of many machines of a plant relocation.

Moving a new press break.

This clip features a 16,000 lb. Amada 80-25SL press brake. Special dollies with poly wheels capable of holding 12,000 lbs. each are used. These dollies also have swivel wheels allowing the machine to be pushed around corners and right into position.

Big injection mold machine.

Here's a nice video showing a Van Dorn 1000 being loaded onto a truck. This job required bringing in some heavy lifting muscle to move and lift the 125,000 lb. injection mold machine. To transport the machine a 75 ton lowboy trailer was used, which meant getting oversize load permits, vehicle escort and a police escort.
