Jim, standby for screwage! At that weight you will need a freight company
and they have all kinds of single shipment, residential pick up and other
minimum charges.
You might consider removing the motor and shipping in two cartons. Pallets
are a no no for UPS and Fedex parcel services. My recollection is they have
a max weight of 150 pounds per carton.
If that is too much hassle, you might try Freightquote.com for a quote.
They will respond with quotes from several carriers and you can pick the one
you trust.
If you decide to ship in cartons, pack well with the required three or four
inches of padding on all six sides of the carton or damage claims will be
denied.

I purchased an electric winch, US Tower MDP-750 from a guy who was close
enough to pick it up at his home. After getting it home and mulling over
the challenge ahead, I decided it would be too hard to integrate this winch
(which has a complicated pull up/pull down design) onto my crankup tower
and
sold it. The winch is pretty large and heavy, 185 pounds according to the
US Tower catalog (and I believe it).
I am starting to work with the new buyer on shipping. And I need a
starting
point. I would guess it needs to be strapped to a pallet. Any suggestion
on a shipper? Will FedEx ground handle something like this?
I am getting real tired of manually cranking the tower up and down but need
a simpler approach. Something like the MDP-75 is more in my thought
process.
