I did hire a rigger who claimed his "low boy" trailer could put my 2.2K lb lathe up into my shop. I had sent pictures of my driveway with the 90* turn at the top. In the end the rigger couldn't make the 90* turn, didn't bring a forklift, and left the lathe precariously perched on the soft shoulder of my driveway. In addition the rigger endangered all us mountain folk by coming up the hill with bad brakes and wound up running in the side of the mountain on his way down. Sometimes it's just better and often less money to just do it yourself even if that involves learning something new.
