    I'm looking at buying an AB Dick 360 chute delivery press. Unfortunately the seller is not able to offer any assistance with loading or transport. Anyone had experience moving these or similar small presses? I'd like to know what equipment I might need to safely load and secure it on a flatbed trailer or small enclosed UHaul-style trailer with ramp. I'd estimate it weighs about 500 lbs, perhaps less since it is chute delivery rather than chain delivery. Would it be necessary to mount it onto skids/pallet? I have various jacks, cargo straps, etc. but probably would need to rent a heavier-duty hand truck or dolly than what I've got. Trip would be about 200 miles on flat southern California freeway. I appreciate any advice you guys might have.

    A Refrigerator dolly with a strap works well. Tape measure dolly blade and press feet (gliders). Dolly's are not standard size.
