Im thinking of making a ten hour drive to pick up 8 Valley tables what is the best way to load these or put them on a truck? i was thinking i could take the legs off and stand them up on the long side..... just trying to make one trip and be safe about it.

Any advice would be appreciated thanks!
 
I have seen John Stich Stand Tables on end,,,,I have also seen John and Gary Benson stack them four high with cardboard and 4x4 in between them...they also have electric pallet jacks they carry on there trucks.

It depends on the loading equipment you have and the type of transportation you have as well. Forklift available? Lift gate on truck? Dollys? How many people?

The best way to move older valleys is to use a barge or just toss em straight in the river over a bridge....claim insurance on them then invest the insurance money in good tables...

Valleys are great for coin op amusement play. Pool is pool to most people, depending on your expectations of the tables will determine your outcome.
Some valleys have serious issues and others go with no complaint.
Transport can be rough on the tables if not done with precaution. I've seen valleys that I wouldn't dare try to flip on to a cart in fear that it would fall apart from neglect but thats another subject.
I suggest you make sure all the leg bolts are in the legs when you flip the tables or at least three of them are tight,check the rails and corner casting bolts to make sure they are secure in place to act as a retainer for the slate.
DO NOT FLIP THE TABLE ON TO THE SIDE OF THE COIN-OP/BALL DOOR.
The lower the truck rear bumper height is best for low ramp angle.

Take your time and be safe.

There's the problem I've been trying to point out. what kind of care,maintenance are you going to perform?? You'll end up in a wild goose chase trying to work out the kinks.....
The table was built and designed bad from day 1..you will see'
