Jeffrey,


Use a courier or "hotshot" service. Save yourself some effort and
chiropractic fees....

I use a courier service to move my arcade games around. It costs me $25 to
have a guy in an enclosed liftgate-equipped truck go to the trucking
terminal (about 15 miles away), load up the 350 lb. crate, bring it to my
house, and drop it off in my garage.

I imagine that you may be able to find a service near you that does the
same. It's cheaper than injuring yourself (potentially), and they are
better equipped to make moves like this.

Just a thought - might save you some trouble.....

(and your back) : )
