I brought mine home alone & me & my son lifted the whole thing on to the bench between us. P.S I am an old weak fa-rt but it was pretty easy to do.

If you don't mind taking it apart it would be easy. I have moved (not simultaneously) a Boxford, a Meddings pillar drill, and the big one a 24in cricket pitch roller in an 850cc Perodua Nippa. Several Drummonds and a Myford in a 2 door Fiesta. I did cheat and use a trailer for the knee mill.
