Well here are the pictures of the install today. Paul and his son are very professional and very polite. I'm tired right now but I'll be playing later on my new 4 1/4 in pockets.

Woot !! ??

The last part of the install is flipping it over from its side to stand on its legs ????

How strong are these install guys ?
 
Man you just bought the best table in the whole world! She will be a real b**** at times and she doesn't like to be forced...lol. Congrats! You will definitely enjoy it bud.

I've seen them move tables around like that at pro tournaments, but I had no idea that's how they came for a home install. I'm jealous. If I only had a room in my house big enough...
 
It's not as difficult as you might think to flip it over. 2 guys can easily do it, though it helps to have 1 more person just to stand on the dolly and make sure it doesn't fly away when the table is being tipped. If you notice, the skirts on the pro-am are angled slightly inwards which makes it even easier. Once it tips off of the cart and onto the legs, it is just a giant fulcrum. The only sort of hard part is when it's coming south of vertical...it gets slightly heavy there, but the fulcrum takes a lot of the dead weight there as well.
 
Crikey - thats some seriously good leg mount / frame engineering that can handle the entire slate weight to use 2 legs as a fulcrum to roll it from side to flat.

I now understand how they flipped it (I think ?) - but am now amazed at how the legs / frame can handle that type of weight loading !!! wow ! :-D

A video of this type of table flip on a 1" slate 9 footer would be very interesting viewing.... links anyone ????

Thanx
Cheers

Yeah, agreed! I was absolutely stunned that the legs could support it when I saw them do it. Incredible.

It's called a diamond cart. They are made for exactly doing this so installers can do 30 tables in a day to setup for a tournament. Go see it on diamond's website.

You can see the bottom pivoting in that video. Most of the weight is not on the legs by the time it's on the legs at all. If you just picked the table up with 5 guys without the cart there, it would just snap the legs off.
 
Aha - the "Diamond Dolly" - cool tool / method for flipping a table without causing / risking damage.

Cheers for the info & links.
