Mover / shipper / rigger recommendations for small shop? #NeedAdvice

 

Hi all,

The wife's career is taking us from Austin, TX to Asheville, NC.? My small shop has a C3-41, a 15" Powermatic bandsaw, a 17" Rikon drill press, and an Oneida mini-gorilla dust collector.?

I'm mainly concerned about the C3-41.? It's heavy, and obviously you don't want movers trying to heave it around by torquing on the slider or jointer tables.? I called Felder, and they didn't have any recommendations besides renting a U-Haul and doing it myself.

If I can afford it, I'd like to have someone experienced handle this job, but I'm interested in the community's recommendations.? What have you done / any companies you can recommend / any approaches to avoid at all costs?

Thanks!
 

Get a rigging company. It¡¯s expensive but if you aren¡¯t ?comfortable doing it yourself it¡¯s probably worth it. I wouldn¡¯t trust a regular moving company to have the experience or equipment to move machinery.?

Welcome to Asheville! I bought a house in Arden 2 yrs ago. My woodworking shop is at my farm about 70 miles south in SC. Ive moved an AD941 using the rollers, the lifting bar, a lift gate, and some muscle. But that was only 40 miles.?
