There are couriers that specialise in transporting this kind of thing as I made enquires when I was buying a wall cutter a year or so ago but in the end went and collected and made a weekend away out of it.
Have not got any info or names I’m afraid but the usual google search should bring something up.
It would need to be really well packed and all moving parts completely imobilised for transport. Suppliers do send mount cutters by couriers using the manufacturers packaging that the mount cutter was used to send it from the manufacturer. Normal distributors also have contracts with the couriers that they use and have insurance with that supplier if the item is damaged by the courier.
Items sent by private individuals might find it much harder to get compensation, particularly as they cannot prove that the item was new, undamaged and correctly and adequately packed. I would also be wary about getting the mount cutter sent via one of the cheaper couriers as it is very hard to prove the facts to get compensation, as the system is loaded in their favour, not yours.
If a mount cutter becomes even ever so slightly bent, or twisted during transit, your chances of correcting this are going to be extremely difficult, if not impossible, so the packaging needs to be strong enough to ensure this does not happen.

“Life is short. Art long. Opportunity is fleeting. Experience treacherous. Judgement difficult.”
― Geoffrey Chaucer
The weak link is the person that would pack it if you was packing you would make sure it was well packaged and all the moving parts were secured in place. as I said there are company's like https://www.shiply.com/fragile-goods-transport/ that is a search engine for smaller independent couriers that have feed back but never used them myself as yet.
