I suspect this will be gone quick. I wish I had the space for it.

That must be very heavy. I would not want to move it.

It's been up for about 2 months as far as I've seen so you can probably talk the seller down some.

Humm. I'll have to pass that along to a couple people I know. With the stipulation of "hey you might be interested in this, No I'm not helping you move it!"

Dang, I wonder how much that thing weighs, or how the heck would you move it.
You almost could cut it up and make a bunch of anvils out of it, and sell the homemade anvils since high quality steel anvils have skyrocket in price the last couple years.

That would be ideal for race car chassis fab.

It's a little on the small side, you could make it work.
The price is not to bad.
The problem with a piece like this, you will need a forklift to move it.

at that weight It would scrap for about $1000 around here.
Must....stop....looking....at....this...... 
The price for what it is is ridiculously cheap. I can't even imagine what it would cost to acquire a table like that new. I had $500 in material alone in the small table I built. If only I had the space.
I bet if you were careful you could get this on a flatbed truck.

How did you move it?

We need pics of it when you get it back, that thing looked awesome. Did you pay full price or do some dickering?
If you seriously bought it, you better take a stack of pictures and start a "move" thread on it.

Not too bad of a road trip

Coming from an industrial background it isn't hard to figure out how to move it. Flatbed trailer, a forklift and some 4 by 4's.

Yea but how many of us have a forklift at home to unload it?

You can rent them by the day or a bobcat with forks

Honestly anyone who wants anything that big probably has a forklift
A Bobcat won't even come close to picking that thing up....neither will a "normal" size forklift.

I was curious, so I looked up what a Bobcat could do.
http://www.bobcat.com/loaders/models/
There are more models than I expected, even though I expected quite a few. The range seems to be from 700 lbs to 2000 lbs, and I'm sure you need to de-rate that quite a bit for real-life geometry.

So right! Most people don't even think of this. For instance, that welding table is wide, which will put the weight further from the pivot point on whatever machine you are using. Lets say that table weighs 6,000lbs even. If you rented a forklift with a 6k-lb capacity...you will not be able to pick it up completely without the steer tires becoming useless

Sure it would, the fork lift I drive every day is rated for 6150 pounds, I couldn't even tell you how many times I've picked up and moved 10k with it (yes things sized bigger than that table). However the rear of the truck does get light. Any more than that and you bounce when the load rocks or you hit a bump.
I'd venture a guess that my lift would pick 12k if it was sized right, anymore and you lift the rear.

A Lull would be the right equipment to move that sucker
