While I didn't really move it, I did raise my 3x8 to pour a concrete floor in the sugar house. I did it lifting from homemade winches off the trusses. I had 2 10' long 1" pipes, one on each side of the arch and had 3 cables attached to them, one about half way back under the firebox, one just behind the ramp and one about 1' from the back. I lifted by the handles I attached at one end of each. I used a tee and a 30" long pipe on each end of thee pipe handles. I then cranked 2 or 3 turns on one side, then 4-5 on the other and worked back and forth 4-5 turns until it was high enough, and the last was 2 -3 turns so it rested level. I then added safeties using 2x6 legs and 2x6 cross pieces adjacent to each cable. The crank legs were held in position using a board on the ceiling joists to hold the handle.
If you can construct a frame that will fit into the new sugarhouse that will not flex as you move it, you can then move it intact. If you can't make such a frame that won't flex, remove the bricks and all possible other parts then move it and re brick when in place.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
