If you're moving large equipment, you might need to have a moving truck with a lift gate as well as a crew who knows the way to lift and load without injuring themselves. Then there's the actual loading--packing the cargo area to ensure that not anything shifts, drops, or breaks throughout moving is a task of engineering best not left to amateurs.
