Onto the Truck….

Moving my pressIn preparation for moving my 1000 pound letterpress to New Mexico, my husband found 4 rubber wheels that held 400 pounds each at the local steel scrap yard. We mounted them to the feet of the press so that it could be rolled out of the shop. I thought the moving truck would have a lift gate, but it showed up without one. We have a power winch, and at first my husband suggested we might be able to use that. But there was no reason for me to fret, the 4 movers took the problem in hand and just pushed the press up the ramp into the van. The whole operation took about a minute! It’s now carefully covered and strapped into the truck and on its way to Las Vegas to pick up some else’s load and then on to Santa Fe this weekend.
