    V2XT Bridgeport Moving to my shop

    Hello Everyone! Just purchased a V2XT, in good working condition. I have a forklift on my end. Whats the best way to lift? Straps under head. The machine doesn't have a forged threaded lifting ring installed. I have a bunch of 6000 pound straps that i can use, 20ft and 6ft. Also, what should i do before moving it? Does anything have to be supported? Before i lift the machine by its head, where are the bolts that i need to tighted down to make sure the head doesnt come off the base? I have a forklift on my end, and on the end of where i bought it from.

    Thanks,

    DiyE

    Never mind! Got delivery thrown in the deal for only $150 bucks! Now just have to unload on my end with forklift. Whew. Any other v2xt owners?
