Spend some money on a sheet or two of plywood and some 4x4's Make a skid
and the place the mill on the skid and bolt down. This gives a wide base so
it is harder to tip over and can be skidded around on the ground.
Ive done this before and it has worked very well. Also works without the
fork lift. You can use pipe rollers under the 4x4's and move it wherever you
want and also comealong it up onto a trailer . (Forklift is much easier)
but for those that don't have a forklift, I thought I would mention it.

Something to add....

Abour five years ago I saw a period of time that every mill (7 total)
that I came across that had been recently moved had tipped over during
the ride from point A to point B.

Some of them had been tied down while others had just been placed on
the trailer hoping the Gods of Gravity would do the job...well they
apparently were on a coffee break at the time.

It taught me to personally inspect all tie downs before anything of
mine is moved by someone else.

Another thing that Gunner bought up is I would remove all cranks,
wheels aka "anything that sticks out will be broken". All those little
things count up fast if you have to replace them.
