Depending on the weight of the machine, i might consider jacking it up one end, backing the trailer under it, connect and tighten your winch, take both jacks to the back end, jack it close to level, then pull it with the winch,

What do you think it weighs, i would say bewteen 750kg to 2500kg,

I have been told it weights 700kgs.

That sounds a little light and I would guess 1000Kgs would be more realistic. Friend and me wounce moved a much heavier machine (Wadkin 6 headed spindle moulder) up and over a 400mm high wall onto similair trailer with just 2 trolly jacks 2 Planks of wood and scaffold tube. . . . With levers and rollers you can move anything Just like the Egyptians. .

Eddy current here you go if it helps you sleep better. .

Totaly agree there Jazz, i wne and looked at 2 similar ( afa i can tell from the pics ). i think they was 1300kg and 2200kg inc power units. and yes, jacks, leavers and rollers, but they start to come undone on uneven ground, as i learnt last week

700kg, you will easy do that with 2 pallet jacks.

Just be careful not to pull the machine out of shape when you place it on/off the trailer, you will be fine. Drive slow back. Here in the UK, HIABs ( trucks with cranes ), are reasonably priced if you ring around. I say that, becuase even at 700kg, plus the waight of the trailer, its a lot to tow with a car or van, so be careful.
