This eleven-foot-wide entry's ceiling was carved in one piece, over four feet tall, and with sloping radius from the face to the smaller front door. The ceiling is over four feet deep, and we had one inch on each side as we passed it into place. Originally weighing over 11,000 pounds, it was still a trick at it's finished weight of almost 4,000 pounds to slide into place. The lift's rear driver's tire was unforgettably launched over an embankment in the attempt to get aligned with the opening for the push into place. Please, if you want a tricky entry, let us get there before the site has been landscaped. Moving big, fragile, and expensive things around is hard enough, but doing it on slippery ground is downright scary.
However, almost anything's possible.
