[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 917582, member: 25383"] my boss bought air slides for a CNC machine center move. Sheared up some 26 gauge sheet metal strips to go over the section lines in the concrete. Moved it with one hand! The hard part was removing the slides, and we did that with 20 ton jacks (the machine weighed over 30,000lb.). My two millwrights were dead set against using them, but I talked them into trying this new system one time. We ended up buying another set, and the millwrights loved them! Before that we used a 40,000 pound fork truck and also a 30,000lb. truck. Then had to fight with it to get the machine exactly where we wanted it. Not too bad when setting a single machine, but horrible when putting it inside an FMS system. I moved two Devlieg 4360 Jig mills almost a quarter mile once with air slides, and it took about an hour to move each one. That one took eight slides, but still was easy to push. gary [/QUOTE]
