There are many reasons people need to move a pool table.  Doing it right will save lots of backache and possibly heart break.  Any good home model table, except coin-ops, are 3 piece slate.  The slate should be removed from the baseframe before the table is transported.  The slate weighs 300 to 600 lbs in total so to try to carry the baseframe and the slate in one piece is awkward and could seriously damage the slate, baseframe on someone’s back.  It is simple and easy to remove the slate and transport each piece.  Baseframes, whether unibody or knock down are then easier to manuever thru doorways and out of the location. Most manufacturers, in their warranties state that the table be moved only by certified manufacturer approved technicians.  This negates the table lifetime warranty.  Getting the table back together leveled and flattened is another matter all together.  I’ll cover this later.
