Anybody have any experience with this? Having a hard time finding anyone locally that moves them.

i ususally start by lifting it off the ground then trying to exert force to where you want to go with your legs

This is the question. You rent a cart for the body. Remove the slate(s) and legs and it is not that tough to move. If it is a bar type one piece slate (such as a Valley) it is really easy to move. Larger 3 piece slate tables can be more complicated. Either way very doable with two average men even out of a basement~

Sounds like a nice pain in the ass problem you have there.

This.

Most 3.5x7s and 4x8s are one piece, but some of those and most of the larger ones are 3 piece slates.

If it's a 3 piecer you gotta take off the rails and move the base. It's a good time to refelt if needed, but not always necessary.

Call or go to the places that sell them in your area. They'll know a few guys. They also might sell you an overpriced spa or hot tub.

If it is a three piece slate, call John at Art's Billiards, and he can hook you up with Stokes Billiards. If it is a one piece slate, tell me the dimensions. I moved and 8 foot one piece in a Uhaul trailer.

I've had it done a couple of times and did it once with the help of 3 other guys. I would definitely hire someone to do it if at all possible. They didn't take mine apart but the 2 guys that moved mine looked like they could have been offensive linemen. They took the legs off and tilted it on its side. They put a 4 wheel cart underneath it that was similar to the thing that mechanics sometimes use to get under cars with. I don't remember if they used 1 or 2 of the carts but the table is incredibly heavy. If you are going to do this yourself, I would recommend no less than 4 people doing it.

I also used to work at a pool hall, and had experience moving tables. If you move it yourself, you will swear that you will pay someone the next time.

So, I suggest paying someone.
