Electure:
I fail to see where in Art 400 you may find a good 'argument' to use cord to connect large machinery.
edit
I just re-read your opening post; OK, you said 'non-movable', so why not RMC/IMC?. Or, as you described it, why not lengthen the 'field installed..." to go 'up' to a suitable twistlock recept?? Or, RGC/IMC down to a suitable box; nipple to floor flange on floor, then a TL in the box?
The usual debate (EC to AHJ) 'physical damage'; the load on the OH crane could hit the RGC; (me) but it can't hit the cord??
9ec) 'vibration'; (me) OK, use sealtite for the final conn.
As I said above, been there, done it.
