      @@turbocobra was thinking about your rodeo hah... you've seen fork extensions and pick beams on forklifts. You could make a side pick that slides on. Carry a few sticks alongside the machine. Like 1000 lbs worth or less. After you get it off the truck, short chain to a side pick and walk right in the shop.

    Just a thought,
    How about moving the band saw nearer the door and make a roller table that's permanently outside bolted to the ground so you can plonk your materials straight on and crack on with cutting as soon as it come's in less work for yourself and manoeuvring too?
