When I put my new 14x40 Wilton lathe in, we just got 6 guys (carpenters) we picked it up and moved it across the shop. Of course we used a farm tractor with fork lift to get it off the truck and just into the shop via the 8 foot door.
The Wilton weighs just shy of 1000 lbs.
If it doesnt have a stand or needs assy. then an engine hoist is the ticket. Done one that way too.
