How do I move in Bridgeport?

Simply so, how much does a Bridgeport mill way?

A standard Bridgeport-style vertical knee mill will weigh about 2,000 to 3,000 lbs, depending on when it was made and what options it has. To move it, there should be a threaded hole on top of the ram that's a hoist point.

Additionally, how tall is a Bridgeport mill? A Bridgeport machine requires a surprising amount of clearance in the surrounding space to operate, due to the awkward projection of its components and the ways they articulate. The clearance height for the J-head model is 83-1/2".

In this way, how do you move a vertical mill?

Simple Steps to Move a Vertical Milling Machine

1. Lift your forks and spread them to just fit around the column.
2. Move in until the forks have extended past the Ram.
3. Place rubber pads or wood between the forks and the ram.
4. Put oak or solid wood timbers between mill and the back of the forks.
5. Run a cargo strap around the mill and attach to the mast.

How much does a CNC machine weigh?

9500 lbs. sounds a little light to me even if its a manual machine for a true 20" machine. My DMG CTX 410 weighs in at 12,300 lbs. including the chip conveyor.
