Thanks DBronson,
Of course, I have already asked riggers for proposals but am waiting! Meanwhile I want to install the base for the sculpture at least to show we have started installation.
The use of skates is a superb idea and I appreciate the link and will learn a lot from talking with...

Thanks for the comments. When I find out the weight of the fork lift I might indeed need to have plates or wood planks down to distribute the load.
I will add that as an option based on roof specs they provide if it is needed.
What specific questions would you ask about the roof...

J, you are right on! I am giving them the proposed access routes and the specifications of the Toyota fork lift I am renting and the resultant 330 lb per sq ft load on the concrete.
They have to approve everything bum it I would love transparency where I can just have access to their own...
I am authorized to use a forklift but not a crane to bring in a sculpture on a City Sculpture Garden Plaza that is actually the roof of their underground parking lot. Assuming they built it to "California Codes" what can we estimate reasonable about maximum safe loads? The City-owned forklifts...

I need a pair of HM535349/HM535310 tapered bearings to support a steel boat sculpture that...
