The renovation of the Central Resource Library continues! But here's a problem we encountered. We needed to move 138 bookshelf stacks from areas we need for construction to take place. But how do you move a book shelf that weighs over 5 tons?
Do you take the over 200 thousand books off the shelves, disassemble the shelves, move the books, move the shelves, reassemble the shelves and reshelve the books?
Nah! Why not just pick them up and move them? Well, we do have some pretty mighty librarians, but let's face it these are heavy! Brains over brawn wins this round! Enter the "STACKINATOR!"
This video shows how movers attached the wheeled "STACKINATOR" to move tons of your favorite books, movies and music.
