When you order a MR1 fully assembled, Does it come with a lifting bracket or some way to move it safely.
Tormach has a lifting bracket system, Just wondering if the MR 1 will have it or if not is it something in the works.
There will be brackets that attach to the legs that A) are used to secure to the pallet and B) have fork pockets for lifting with a forklift. There wont exist any provisions for lifting with an overhead hoist.
That’s great, I was also wondering this.
Will a forklift be required? Or will a pallet jack also work?
A forklift will be required to lift the machine up of the pallet (this is the official company statement, do I think that someone could get the machine off the pallet by other means? yes).
Ok thanks. And yes, I’m sure there are other creative ways to move it
@langmuir-daniel Is it possible to buy these brackets as an accessory for a self-assembled machine? If not, could you post an image of them? Thanks!
Just out of curiosity, how long are you curing the concrete before subjecting the machine to shipping? That gives a baseline if people need to move their machines that they built themselves …
Cheers,

It’s mentioned on here somewhere, couldn’t find it but i think they recommended a 3 week cure time before moving the machine.
I found a reference to 30 days in one of their comments - a month makes sense given the following table which puts the strength at 99% in 28 days. It also shows how much stronger the concrete is if the surface remains wet/moist. I think 5 days to epoxy is a bit quick but that is just my personal opinion, but it might also lead to a stronger slab given its much harder for moisture to leave the slab.
