You can get past the large overhung load problem in at least two ways with forktrucks. Put a forklift on each side of the machine and lift it up. Back the trailer under the machine. If you can't get the load near the base of the forks, two heavy wall rectangular steel tubes about 8 ft long can help. Jack the machine, slide the tubes under the machine, forks go into the end of the tubes and lift. Back the trailer under the tubes, set the machine down on wood beams which cross the trailer, pull the tubes out. Finding two 10,000 lb fork trucks is a lot easier than finding one huge 30,000+ lb fork truck. But you do have to be careful to lift it straight up!
