I use a company in Longmont called MMSolutions. Not cheap, but they won't damage anything in the move process. They tend to use forklifts, rigging a sling under the head of the mill. There's a process for locking things down before you do that. Once in the building, they'll use machinery skates to move it around if the forklift can't get inside.
