Transporting a shop
Not sure if this is the best forum, but any help is appreciated. I’m inheriting my dad’s shop full of a dozen or so large, often cast iron tools. I need to transport them from MA to PA.
His shop is in the basement, there’s a standard door to the outside. However, it opens up to a lawn (quite soft) and equipment would need to be brought around the house, up a gentle hill, to the driveway for loading.
The destination point should be easy - a truck will be able to back into my garage/shop, which has a flat concrete floor.
Can anyone provide practical advice on companies to call? We need a truck (ideally with a hydraulic lift gate), labor to load the truck. Driving is optional, I think I could handle a midsized truck, or I can pay someone to drive.
I’ve never moved anything like this. Thank you.
