Tips on moving my woodshop? (lemmy.world)

My woodworking shop lives in my 2 car garage. I have several large-ish machines, like a sawstop PCS, a 12" jointer and a dust extraction system.

I'm in the US. I'm currently in the process of selling my house and moving to a different state 2000 miles away. I'm dreading having to move my woodshop. My main concern is those large machines getting damaged in transit. I plan to use pods for the move.

So, people who have gone through a similar move, do you have any tips? How did you pack large/heavy machines?

Thanks for the tips. I have considered selling the sawstop and other big tools, but with the current economic uncertainty, I'm worried about not being able to afford to re-buy the things I sell.

Who did you go with instead of PODS?
