To give you an idea of rigging costs. I moved this machine.

Into this shop.

It cost me $2,000 and the machine was purchased less than two miles
away. It was a tight fight into the garage door. The machine weighs
more but I had no stairs to go down. I gave the job to the only rigger
who was willing to drive out and see what he was getting into. For me
disassembly was not an option. If you do decide to disassemble I offer
the following advice. Keep notes as you take things apart and keep
fasteners separate for the various parts. That way it is not a
remembering game during reassembly as to the correct fastener for the
part you are reassembling. Good luck and happy moving.

Jeff
