They are indeed monsters. When I bought the BSCs to bring up to Makerspace in victoria I looked pretty hard for a cheap or free way to move them myself. In the end I hired Corovan to do so. They had a nice device that looked like an engine hoist that would have let them lift it easily to put it on dollies. Except their nice device wouldn't fit in the elevator. So I ran off to harbor freight and bought a lift table which we were able to put under the BSC and with some blocks of wood for extra height lift up off its base then lower it onto dollies on each side of the lift table. The weight somewhat exceeded the 800 pound capacity of the lift table I got but with a person at each corner to help lift and stabilize it worked OK. Doing it again I would get the larger lift table for ~$250 rather than the 800 pound one that cost about $150.

Feel free to give me a shout at 250-220-0467 if you want more details.

Thx,

Derek

Today Counter Culture Labs failed to pick up our new biosafety cabinet.

We need someone or some device that can move a large 680 pound 6 foot wide, top heavy cabinet from its stand at about waist height, down to a couple of ground-level dollies so we can wheel it through a normal-sized doorway.

Can you help?

This is in redwood city. If we can get it onto dollies, we can move it from there.

I have no experience with this sort of thing. We showed up with five people and even with one of the employees at the location helping we didn't feel comfortable even trying it, as it could easily result in serious injury.

We put down half of the $500 price as a deposit, unscrewed the removable components and took them with us. We'd like to try to pick it up within the next week.

It is the NU-425-600 model from this page:
