We need a better idea of what you are lifting AND what you are using for the lift.  Some info on the nature of the move would help also:  Moving it across a shop vs onto a truck, 5000 miles of dirt road, and 300 feet up a loose gravel hill are 2 different things.  Some machine tools like lathes are notoriously unbalanced and might require a different set-up.  

From my experience, you also might be over-complicating things--but without info it's hard to tell.
