Re: [BKARTS] professionally moving a press...

[Dave Allen <allen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carmela,
Here's a link to the move I made last spring with a hauler. Cost $200 to 
pick up from driveway of one bookbinder and deliver to driveway of my 
house/shop. Truck was overkill but he had another load he was doing that 
day so used his big truck.

I had gotten his name from local letterpress people who knew he was careful.
Hope this helps,
Dave Allen
