How do you move machines without a crane?

Most moves inside buildings use machine skates and toe jacks, or hydraulic gantries where the machine needs lifting. The machine is jacked up evenly, set on skates and rolled along a planned route, then jacked down in its new position. This is often the safest method for getting through standard doorways and across finished floors.
