Given the limitations you've mentioned, I wouldn't. But, there are
alternatives.
Perhaps a cherry picker (automobile engine hoist) might work? What's the
heaviest load a cherry picker can hoist?
Is there a forklift anywhere near where you are picking up the machine?
They can at least load it that way, but off-loading it will be an issue.
Well, you could build a very sturdy ramp to off-load it, but I wouldn't
want to be behind it or anywhere within 50 feet of its path when you push
it over the edge.
Perhaps you can rent a car towing trailer? Those are very low to the
ground generally and you may be able to push it onto the tracks. Renting
one may well be much cheaper than a truck with a lift gate.
