Sounds mysterious. How did it get to Bedford? I'd ask the current owner.

I image this "measuring device" is not a tape measure.

I have moved things that heavy many times with a fork lift. However if you need to get it in or out of a confined space you will need special equipment. Try calling Boston Safe Movers and see what they say. They have equipment designed to move heavy objects through a house or office.

Default shaughnessy & ahern....

....these guys may be more than you need, but they are real pros and have been around for a hundred years. My family is in the commercial construction business and uses them as a sub any time they need a crane, riggers, etc

Diggins and Rose in Manchester. Many years ago, I used them many times for moving large cnc machine tools. They have a rigging division and can move anything. Great to work with, at least many years ago...

Locally close in Bedford is Cote riggers located over the line in Goffstown.
National Mach Movers. I have moved several awkward heavy pieces and found this guys prices better than most of the bigger guys. Very friendly, family business and he will come out and give you a quote. Usually its him and his sons doing the job. National Machinery Movers. Fred Frisella. 603-669-1323
