Default Moving machinery

I have to relocate or sell a metal lathe that weighs around 500kg and a large drill press/milling machine. We tried unsuccessfully to load the lathe on to a Hilux with a engine crane and the drill press is top heavy. Have to be able to move them about 40km's other wise will sell them where they sit, any ideas?

How about a two axle trailer with dogs and chains ?

If you come to the sale conclusion, quick question. What state you in? And brand of lathe?
