moving stuff fast and accurate requires some pretty big forces
visited a pcb facture many years ago looked like the base plate for the drilling machine was basically a +20cm thick slab of granite

Nonsense. Armchair theorist.
We don't need a loading dock in a pit; imagine what that would cost! And the truck could not have backed up to one without blocking half the traffic in downtown San Francisco.
The forklift guys delivered the green monster to our door in half an hour after we decided that we needed it, for $500.

Yea, I did not bother, rain here, and seen the pictures in the news. Moon eclipse does not impress me much. Solar a bit more...
For the really out sized stuff, they just jack up one end of the pallet and shove a wheel set under it.
Yeah, right. If anybody's going to be standing in the way when that thing comes down a 20 degree ramp with four tons of metal on it, I'd much rather it were you than me.
A good-sized forklift is the right tool for that job, for sure.

It's just a platform on a scissor jack, it's light and it rolls around. A 5
-ton capacity is pretty small. But you know more than the manufacturer who specializes in equipment for getting cargo out of big trucks, and has been doing this for some time, not exactly a novelty item.
Yup, I have some parts off an Excellon PCB drill. The base was a slab of granite about 1.5 m square and about the same as you mention, 20cm or so thick. The table weighted just ounces and rode on air bearings.

Go Giants !

It does take a certain amount of fortitude to work the loading dock...
Go (directly to jail) Niners!
