Just guessing but I wonder if you could attach it to a heavy-duty pallet. Or maybe some sort of body dolly. Another dolly. This dolly probably wouldn't be what you need...
Transportation of the un-wheeled.
How do you transport (or have shipped) an Alfa with no wheels?
It's a stripped body 600 miles from me.
Do companies like DAS do that?

Funny stuff.
I built a simple dolly to move my Sprint GT body from my garage to the media blaster and then on to the bodyshop.
The dolly was quite easy to build - 4 heavy-duty casters, some 2X6's, and carriage bolts. The casters were positioned under the points where the body attached, so the wood wasn't carrying much weight. And, a stripped Alfa body doesn't weigh much.
This worked fine, transporting the car a few tens of miles on a dedicated flatbed hauler. Now, whether a common carrier would accept such a vehicle is another question. Often vehicle transporters will only accept running cars. Obviously one of those two level trailers that holds 8 or 10 cars couldn't accommodate a body supported on little casters with a 3' track width.
Note: If you do use a dolly, attach your tie-downs to the body, not to the dolly.
