Hiab, Forklift, Big tractor... HELP!

So I just bought a new to me piece of equipment (a milling machine) The company I bought it from said it was about 3000lbs, so I had made arrangements for that weight. The rigger on that end just called me and said they just loaded it and it is more like 4500lbs.

So right now I am kinda screwed. If anyone has or has access to a Hiab truck , a Forklift, or a Big tractor, that will lift that kind of weight, and is available tomorrow morning, please call me.

Brett - Cell 403 815 9529.

I am in Airdrie, near Yankee Valley and Main St.

Holly sheep dip captain. 4500lbs. Wow that one big mill. We lifted 10 tons today by hand (over heads/gantrey), lots of cranes here at the plant here. A few 30 ton lifts, but that's abit far from you. Good luck buddy. I have an other tricky lift tomorrow. Been scoping out some decent trails for my quad out here. We have to go for a ride one day buddy.

Details on my lift. We can't fit the crane into the building, and there is a 24in pipe in the way, filled with H2S acid gas. This is kinda a JFC shooting but just for lifts. Man very cool lifts going on out here. Saw a 30ton crane lifting a bundle and lifting and inserting it into a few dehydration units today. They had a device using to push in the bundle into the cartridge. Very cool, I had to watch for awhile.
