Singer 7-31 dimensions

[carlcarl]

Hello all,

New here, just got a singer 7-31 and am trying to get a freight quote for shipping, can anyone that has this machine share it’s dimensions with me?

i plan to have it out into a dewalt/husky plastic tool box to have it freighted down to me.

 

thank you!

I highly doubt there's a plastic tool box sturdy or big enough to ship a Singer 7 Class. I have a modern version of the Singer 7 that's still in the shipping crate. Here's a picture of it just to give you an idea of how to ship them if you care about the machine's survival. It's really forklift territory. No human will lift or move this by hand.

Thank you for the link chrisash,  And thank you for the advice Uwe,  does anyone know the height of the machine?

 

 

 

best regards

Top of the handwheel 23",top of casting 20",you should take the wheel off to prevent the top shaft from getting bent in case it moves around during the trip, I'll agree w/ Uwe  you need a sturdy wooden box to protect it.

When you get a freight quote, they give you a few options.  You can have it delivered directly to your house or place of business, but if you don't have a loading dock (like at home) then they charge you an extra $50-$80.  So it is less expensive if you pick a freight terminal and you then pick it up.  The tricky part with that is then you need to unpack  it and load it yourself, these machines are heavy so bring help.

Thank you Yetibelle,

I just shipped a palletized engine, I prefer terminal pickup and drop-off, its much cheaper also.
