I've often found myself looking at crane trucks at auctions for this =
same reason. With as often as I move it may be cheaper in the long run =
to buy one! The 10 ton forklift & flatbed I have to rent to move mine =

        I was just talking to someone about possibly moving a Nazel 3B =
that
the hammer weighs 300 lbs, the anvil 3,000, and the machine itself is =
about
7,000.  The ram to anvil seems to follow the ten times rule that I've =
always
heard should be kept.
        Heavy is what I say to those numbers when my boom truck would =
lift
the anvil, but not the rest of the machine, unless I start breaking it =
apart
to move it.
