A round-ram M-head Bridgeport is no biggie at all! A lift gate truck
will do it
without any strain. What you have is a whole other ball game, though!
The Bridgeport book lists the Ser II at 6000 Lbs, but that is a manual
machine.
There is another Ser II CNC machine on eBay listed as 7200 Lbs (probably

included control cabinet). This is a serious rigging job!
