Depending on what you have for scrap material laying around you could unload that yourself. I recently moved a Van Norman #2 mill into my new garage. I loaded it onto the trailer and then off again all by myself. I used chains and a chain hoist along with 1/2"pipe for rollers and then two pieces of 3" angle iron to slide the machine off the trailer. The trailer was still hooked up to the truck and I also use jack stands under the rear of the trailer to prevent slippage. Hear is a picture showing the mill halfway down the ramp. Well I was going to post a picture but cannot find a way to post picture directly from computer to this forum. So here's a link to my blog on restoring a couple of old machines and the photo will be on the page that opens. The March issue of my blog. Restoring lathe and mill
