Hey Ken: Best bet is to try one of the rigging companies that move (or used to move) printing equipment - there is a special set of steel beams made specifically for putting on the machine to move it properly. Pretty slick operation.
Been thru this twice myself and hope not again. Other than that, good heavy set of 4 x 4's bolted to the legs and moved with pallet jack. Been both ways. If you're just moving the lino, shouldn't be too expensive. I was lucky to find someone that still had the apparatus. Comments were "gee, I thought we'd never need this again... (wrong)! Good luck and best wishes with the "project". By the way, where are you located - in Laurel, Maryland myself...
Jim
