On the pallet jack it's easy enough to wheel the Mill to where you need it and then lift it off at the other end with the gantry. A one man job to move a mill weighing about 1500KG.

Great idea!. I used 2" water pipe, a crowbar, wedges and a whole lot of time for a similar operation. One man but very slow!!
