OK, I am a veritable expert on this moving a shop stuff! I have moved mine 5 times in the last 20 years. That makes me an expert. Actually 6 since on this last move the shop was put in the garage for storage while the shop was being built.
My big tip is UHAUL! Not about using their trucks, nope. But about using their MUSCLE. If you dig around their website you will discover that they have all these sub contractors who will show up at your place and muscle things off trucks, move them from a garage to some other place, etc. And they are incredibly reasonable!
Unloading the truck into the garage cost about $200 and took three hours. Moving it into the shop took the same amount of time and $$$.
We did a long distance move when we retired and it had to happen at the height of the moving season. There was no way we were paying a moving company well over $10K to move us. But the problem was loading and unloading the trucks, that was just too much for us. Problem solved with the muscle for rent guys. So they loaded up the trucks (we needed two 26 footers), we put the trailers for the cars on the back of the trucks and off we went. It was an 800 mile move this last time.
I cannot say enough good about those guys. At both ends they worked hard, steadily and were careful with stuff.
Also with that method we did not have to worry about theft. If there is any delay between packing up and delivery your stuff goes in a "secure" warehouse. And yes, things disappear. Though I do not think it is theft, more like they have a corner in the warehouse full of boxes with a sign in front of them saying "Who forgot this stuff and where does it go?"
So that is my tip, rent muscle to move stuff, they do it faster, don't wreck their backs, drop things on their toes, etc.
