My initial granite plans would have been very interesting as well, but the base plate alone would have been as much as I paid for all of this stuff.

You need a winch and a heavy duty cart with for your stairs. Some temporary rails would also be nice.

I’m 99.97% sure you’ve already thought this through in detail, but just in case, I suggest you be a little thoughtful about the location and orientation of your floor joists with an eye to making sure you concentrate that load as close to a load-bearing wall as you can. I wouldn’t imagine you’d experience catastrophic failure, but you might very well end up having an unpleasant conversation with your landlord when the plaster on the downstairs neighbor’s ceiling begins to crack (or indeed your kitchen ceiling, I’m not entirely sure what your setup is :-)

(Spoken by a man who just spent several thousand dollars getting a part of his ceiling flat-ish and horizontal-ish because the framing carpenters did a slightly sloppy job under the upstairs bathtub, back in the 1960s. Nothing ever failed, but the bulge had been getting more noticeable over the last 20 years and would have made it hard to sell the place)

I'm not even sure what the machine is, but the big blocks that you, "have way too many of" remind me of the counterweights for the spindle axis in my friend's Mori-Seki "Junior" machining center. Big drive chains go over idlers from the top of the spindle carriage to the top and then to the back of the machine, and then down the back to big stacks of steel weights. That was fun to get off the truck and into the workshop. And that same year, we hauled a CNC turret lathe about 600 miles on a flatbed trailer to the workshop, and got it off the trailer and inside the shop all on muscle power. I think the spec plate says it weighs around 6,000 lbs. We borrowed a few tricks from the pyramid-building Egyptians, like ramps, long pry bars, and a whole bunch of 1" x 48" steel shafts to roll it on. Once we used pry-bars to bump it up enough to get one roller under the front, it was pretty easy. Two of us pushing and a 3rd person grabbing the rollers as they came out the back, and running them around to the front again.

haha the pyramid building comparison is something I might have to borrow for the video

Any Gummi Bears? Wow. What a white knuckle adventure. This is going to be epic. I remember very vividly the day I learned what the German word "stau" meant. It was Friday of a holiday weekend and we were driving north from Frankfurt. First time navigating on the autobahn and it was so fun. I wasn't driving and this was before public GPS. All of a sudden, a little blue car comes flying up the highway and passes us by, lights blinking and a big sign on the back: "STAU"! Just about the time I had the dictionary opened to the translation "traffic jam" we came to a dead standstill. Two hours later we were able to get back up to speed, having gone ten miles in that time.

White knuckle adventure is a fantastic term to describe it! Have to memorize that ...

Very interesting, you can milk this project for videos and details without boring me at least. For future reference, the secret sauce for storing rust prone objects in damp garages is ACF50, I spent many a year of inadvisable commuting through winter on 1000cc superbikes, not a spec of rust. Then again, it's designed to protect helicopter and airplane components so it better be pretty good.

I'm not planning on storing the enclosure parts there permanently, but I'll get some of that substance anyway :)
