The Rigger Mr. Heinz and his employee put the Haas Mini Mill into my workshop Tuesday morning. My neighbors the Carpenters (as in Hammer and Saw, not singers) took out the windows at 7am. Mr. Heinz arrived at about 7:30am and was done before Noon.
The window is 6.5 meters from the lower window sill to the parking lot below. The machine weighs just over 1.5 metric tons.
That is One Big Forklift they're using...
