try www.anyvan.com - good way to get stuff moved as cheap as possible - the couriers bid for the job and you see their feedback, type of van, experience etc

You need to consider dimensions, weight, replacement value and insurance cover more in my opinion when selecting a courier to move equipment like that.  We sent a Klindex Machine to Scotland a few weeks ago valued at close to £7K and one  of the forklift drivers in the transfer hub dropped it off the forks with his over zealous driving.  It smashed all the electronics and the cast casing!!!  Result was a write off but thankfully it was fully insured so got paid out in around 10 days.  That is the second incident involving a machine valued at over £5K in the last 4 years with two totally different couriers!!!
