I’d let UPS handle it...what Brown can do for you.

“Why wouldn’t they use a SKYCRANE to move it ?”

The Skycrane (Sikorsky S-64) can lift about 20,000 lbs.

The Sikorsky CH-53E has a sling load capacity of about 36,000.

The CH-47 Chinook has a payload of about 26,000 lbs.

The MIL-26 will lift about 20 tons (44,000 lbs) external cargo.

Judging by the number of axles on the model in the photo, this puppy weighs at least 200,000 lbs.
