Last time I bought a large piece (an Eagle 400 mill), the seller arranged
for the truck to deliver it, and I arranged to rent a large forklift to
remove it from the truck. I was surprised that the delivery of the forklift
did not include OPERATING the forklift, but the driver WOULD explain best
practices (like, DO NOT LIFT FROM THE BOTTOM, but instead use the mill top
lift point). He explained the controls, because I had never driven a fork
lift before, and this unit had to be carefully moved deep into my shop barn.
End result? No problem, no damage, nothing knocked over, didn't fall into
the 6' maintenance pit, etc. All went fine. Total moving cost, across town,
less than $700, not counting my nervous sweat.

You can do it. Just ask a lot of questions, and go slow.

You can have equipment like this shipped without crating. I have done it a
number of times. On the recipient end contact some of your local rigging
companies and tell them you are looking to have a piece of equipment
shipped to you. The ones who can arrange for this will want to know what
the item is, where it is coming from, where it is going to, and details
such as type of facility (appears to be residential on both ends), if
there is a loading dock at either end, if there is equipment to load and
unload the machinery on both ends, etc. I am guessing you could use a
rigging company on the senders end, but I have always used a rigger local
to me as it was easier to work with and know they are reputable.Tim G
