Challenge 1528 width? (for move)
Hi, all! I am looking into acquiring a Challenge 1528 KA press (the kind with a handwheel for manual inking). The press would need to be moved through a fairly tight door (just over 30”), so I’m wondering if anyone with knowledge of this press can confirm the exact width of the press—
especially how easily any cranks, etc. that make up that width can be temporarily removed (to fit the press through a door) and what that might reduce the width to?
Any tiny amount under 30” we could reduce the width to would help us get through the door.
* Paul Moxon’s specs* show the floor size width as 33”
* The Challenge brochure says 30” (am guessing the difference is from including the printing and inking cranks on either side of the press?).

Thank you!
In case this is useful for others, Boggs Equipment reports the press dimensions for moving purposes as 48.5” long, 28” wide, 42” tall. (Those are different than expected from what I’ve found online, but perhaps are from various cranks/etc. being removed for storage/move resulting in smaller than expected dimensions?)
