Moving a 9000 lb mill into place

I've gotten a few requests for pictures of moving machines, so here you go - pictures are thumbnails so you should be able to click them open for a full size picture. I needed to move this mill four feet and turn it 90 degrees. Mill: 9000lb Kearney and Trecker 3K vertical. Tools at hand...

Holy moly, that thing is amazing. That'd make the 8 inch vise look small ;)
What do you with it? make watch parts? ;)
 
Just curious...if you'd like, PM me with a price. Does anybody know if UPS will ship something that heavy or would it have to be truck freight. Too bad it won't fit into a USPS flat-rate box!
 
I think I'll check with them tomorrow. Thanks!
 
I have shipped with Fastenal before... I had a 600 lb South Bend shaper shipped from Massachusetts to Georgia for @ $125...

They are very reasonable...

Funny, I was going to remove the jaws to see if it would make shipping easier, but I don't have an allen wrench that big! It currently sits in the back of my wife's car as I don't want to destroy my back lifting without help. Every once in a while I go out and look and giggle at the size.
