How to unload a 500 lb tool the wrong way💪🏼

Sometimes you get so excited for a new toy that you can’t wait for friends to help you offload it. So you put your high school math and science knowledge to the test and practice some real life load, force, and fulcrum skills.
[Nerd Alert 🤓] By applying a class 2 lever to elevate one side, adding some skids underneath the machine, then a class 1 lever to allow me to slide 500 lb off the pallet safely, I was able to do it all by myself!
“Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” -Archimedes
