Can a regular mover handle these ok?

Maybe.

Are there special moving companies?

Yes! Look under "riggers" in the yellow pages, and prepare to pay!
These guys show up with forklifts, etc... and move machinery every
day. I've hired these guys to move large telephone company wet cell
batteries, generators, etc... If they can't move it, nobody can.

Did I mention to open the wallet?

Is it really worth begging my friends to lug heavy metal for me?

Call riggers and get quotes, the answer will quickly become clear.

I think, at some point, I would consider selling the large iron locally,
and looking for replacements on the other end. Unless I had a unique,
low serial number Unisaw or something else special, but everything I
have in heavy gear was purchased new in the last five years.

Hand tools are a completely different story. Plywood cases, glued and
screwed, with lockable hasps. Casters. And large labels. Like a rock
band.

Where I would have a problem is with the wood rack. Some of that supply
has 'provenance'.
