I am considering moving to northern Ireland in order to be nearer family.
I have the dilemma of having to either ship morso over, anyone have experience
of putting it on a pallet,hassles etc Or to buy equipment when I'm over there
Is there a good availability of picture framing equipment in NI?

regards

As someone who has lived in NI for all his life I can honestly say you'll have no issues obtaining any framing equipment or materials

As for putting a Morso on a pallet .... err, I can't comment but I once seen a duo called Laurel & Hardy delivering a nice piano.

If you have the right car it wouldn't be too difficult to transport a Morso. I would strap it down well though...
You wouldn't want to brake hard and have it crack you of the back of the head. Make your eyes water.

And you would need a big lad(s) to help lift it. Take the blades off.

I transported an Excalibur 5000, CS88 pinner, several hundred feet of moulding and various other stuff from Limerick area.

Anything with a back seat that goes down, I should think. They're neither big nor heavy (not really, anyway).

I'm laughing just thinking about it, what a classic

As for transporting your Morso I can't see that being an issue. Couldn't it just go over with all your other belongings in a van/container? I've moved my morso twice with the help of a sack truck and me missus

I remember shifting my brand-new Morso up a flight of stairs with the help of the guy from Ashworth&Thompson.
We got it on a sack barrow. He pulled and I pushed.

It was still in it's wooden case.

I've moved my framing kit (including a Morso) with my household belongings 4 times and never was there a problem for the removal companies. I just made sure the blades were removed and boxed, they took care of the rest.

I purchased mine, having seen it on a post on here, from Portsmouth. I bought it back home laid down on its back in the rear of a Skoda estate car and still had room around it. It can be done just take care lifting it in and out and put plenty of covers over the bumper to protect paintwork
