I am in the processes of review and researching table saws and am curious as to how one would move a table saw that was delivered and then dropped at the front of your driveway. I have about a 35-40 foot driveway that has an incline. I would assume the driver would drop it on the street then I would need to move the saw over the driveway apron, over the sidewalk cracks, then a straight run up the driveway, and finally over the driveway apron leading into the garage (A lot of cement joints to get over). The entire sidewalk and driveway are cement and road being tar.
I have moved 400-pound liquid drums on drum dollies, with ease, on flat surfaces, and over cement joints but never up an incline. Might have to try that to see the difficulty of moving 400 pounds up an incline by myself.
Some of the saws I am looking at are just over 250 pounds which I would not have an issue moving but if I do, I have a lifting tool called a Son and hand dolly rated for 700 pounds. However, if I decide to go with a heavier saw, say 400 - 450 pounds, that is when moving a saw will be difficult especially if the palette is broken. Also, coordinating moving a large item with my son could be a challenge as we both work odd hours.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
