I don't think they are as heavy as they look, Ken. I managed to get mine
(a very sturdy old gas station compressor with a cast iron 2 cylinder
pump and 80[?] gallon tank) off the truck by sliding it down on a piece
of old carpet, then into my barn using a lightweight hand truck. The
difficult part is that they are top heavy and tip easily. I think that
you would have no trouble if you can find a furniture dolly and a hunk
of plywood. But, in my case, it would have helped to have had a helper
just to keep things from tipping.
