I'd just add something here in case it might prove useful.
Though I doubt something that heavy is going to move very far on it's
own, every time I've moved machinery I block in the machine with 2x4's.
These are cut to fit tight between the machine and sides of the trailer,
2 on each side of the base. I then saw 2x4's to lay across these and
they are also cut to just fit. Deck screws keeps everything in place.
The first layer of boards keeps the machine from moving, and the boards,
if they come into play at all, are in straight compression. The second
layer of boards and deck screws just makes sure the lower layer doesn't
go anywhere. I've then just used 5/8 rope to tie the machine down best I
could. I figure if that doesn't hold the machine securely, I have bigger
problems to worry about....
