Costs involved moving a garage shop out of state

Smaller machines are surely the ticket here.

Another idea I like is buying a suitable trailer when it comes time to move. When I moved my mom out here I bought a used enclosed trailer in Michigan and sold it for a profit in California. If you don’t have a truck you could rent one but buying on one end and selling on the other can definitely work out.

I moved a Monarch lathe from NY to AZ last year, $2000.00 total. I would say its cheaper and smarter just buy another machine out here in AZ. The trouble, risk and cost is not worth it.
 
This was me moving machines for a dealer I know.

Thanks for response Chris. Having all that space and storage definitely must come on handy.

One quick question, is that a surface grinder all the way to the right on the trailer? Why is the base at an angle like that? Just curious.
