I have a couple machines that weigh close to a 1,000lbs each I need transported from Vegas to Wisconsin. Any ideas of how I can do this. Please only serious answers, these were my dads before he passed away and I don't need any bullshit answers for this.

Use a double axle car trailer.
Rent a fork lift when down there to load them.

Looks like the total weight would be close to 2000lbs. You could do that in a pick up bed. Would be nice if the size was listed.

That might be able to be moved via a dolly too. Dolly -> trailer -> home

I would post it on uship.com

That would indeed fit in the back of a pickup truck, or 2 of them would fit easily on a car/equipment trailer...
