Title: M&R Mini Sprint 2000
Post by: Squeeky on May 31, 2015, 10:37:45 AM

Hey Guys

I've got to move a Mini Sprint 2000 38" this week.  How heavy is this unit?  How heavy is the oven section?
Trying to figure out necessary equipment to load in 16' box trailer.

Thanks for the help.

Rich, or someone else from M&R will probably chime in, but you could always call them tomorrow. They have all of that info.

no idea on the weight, but we were able to move it with a pallet jack around in the shop when we were installing it.

Piece by piece isn't bad but when the main section is crated it really helped to have 12 foot forks. Might be overkill but it made a difference compared to smaller forks that I have used in the past

Yes. I would go with 12' forks. And  definitely pull it apart, at the very least pull the in & out feed off & just move the chamber.  If you have a lift  on the back of the truck you should be able to move it with a pallet jack, or two.   These things are supper easy to pull apart & put back together.

4000 LB or Larger.
4' forks minimum, 6' Forks or extensions is what I use.
Some State /Local codes do not let you use extensions if you are renting. Must be fixed forks.
Pallet Jack is good option for moving, If you use flatbed wrecker, depending on cost.
I would carry and use Tie downs, to keep load from shifting. Most Important!
