Anyone have a company or sorce to go to in central Virginia? I’m exhausted moving the ‘smaller’ stuff and I have 8 big pieces to move. If it was me I would look for "cartage companies", they are usually experienced in moving lathes, mills etc.

where are you shipping them too ?
can you crate them ?
do you have a forklift to load / unload ?

Moving them 14 miles to my home shop. I rented a forklift $2500 in that already moving what I can load but not unload. Doing that with a cherry picker.

I ‘walked’ my big shaped in like that, done the same for years. I use either 1/4” rod or 1/4” black iron pipe, less tippy. I imagine that machine weights a lot!
