Looking for dynamic way to load/offload the CMM's with heavy fixtures and other ideas

We are currently in the process of putting together a plan to move my metrology lab. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use to load and offload the heavy fixture's (1000 lbs) we use on the CMM's. Currently we use a hi-lo, but i would like to avoid that if possible, We would also like to avoid having an over head crane.

Any other ideas on making a dynamic metrology lab would be greatly apprcieated.

Thanks,
Scott Hoogerhyde

Well, you've pretty much covered all the 'common' methods. Jib crane is about the only other method I can think of (swing-arm crane instead of a gantry crane).

I have a gantry crane to load/un-load my bridge machine. Isn't an issue at all.
