Think I've worked out how to do it now. Clamp an 8ft timber to the tables and position a trestle near each end of the planer. lift one end at a time onto a stack of flooring offcuts on the trestle tops. take the pallet away and raise one end, remove one 18mm plank, lower then down the other end and repeat.
I'll sleep on the idea first. May go and get a bigger timber plank than I have to hand.
Not crazy about the mobile base. Think fixed wheels one end is going to be a pain. Like the lever down feet instead of locking castors and it feels strong. Had to hack saw down 2 bars as the minimum size is still a bit large. Wheels are hard nylon so may be possible to just skid them sideways. Otherwise I may need some kind of lever down castor between the fixed wheels. We shall see.

Have a look at his video to see how he got it off the pallet etc (it was a bit precarious frankly, but might be interesting for you to see).

Do you have a type C circuit breaker on your supply? Does the machine run perfectly well on your supply?
I have a Record Power Sabre 350 bandsaw, and starting that causes the shop vac to dip in speed for a fraction of a second as the saw picks up speed, so I'm suspicious that a P/T with a bigger motor might be a step too far.
I dont think installing a 16 amp supply would be horrifically expensive, but would be happy not to bother if I didn't need to!
