Oh the luxury of having enough floor space to operate a pallet truck!

Actually I do have enough floor space - it's just that it's taken up with too much junk - lathes, milling machines etc.

The problem is, every time I clear a little space something new sneaks in to take up even more room. Curse those internet sales!

Perhaps I will elevate tidying-up on the perennial list of New Year resolutions.

You are subject to a variation of Parkinson's law. "Work will expand to fill the time available"

Instead it mutates into "Any horizontal space will seek and find equipment to be deposited upon itself"

MOST certainly operates in my shop!

You'll be amazed as to what you can move on a few short lengths of 20mm conduit pipe so long as you have a flat hard surface and patience.

I have a South Bend 10K, under drive with cabinet. I just put a 4" stem caster on each corner. There were tabs sticking out from the front and back of the cabinet that made it easy. The extra height saves wear and tear on my back.
