when i worked at another new car dealership, the owner sold out to new owners he had a large safe to move down a somewhat long flights of stairs. the movers had a special appliance dolly the was powered. it had 2 sets of wheels, 1 set that moved up and down and was battery powered. 2 movers strapped the safe to the dolly and walked the safe down the stairs easy as eating pie. they just ran it onto a HD U-Haul trailer with steel sides and strapped it down and drove away.
when we moved from our old dealership to the new building the owners just called the towing co. they rolled and winched several fully loaded boxes on a flat bead, strapped them down and delivered them to the new shop.
rolling them on a flat bead, strapping them down and getting them delivered might be cheaper than renting a trailer and doing it yourself.

My buddy owns a crane company, lucky me. It has come in handy more than once.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

They are insured and have the manpower.

You don’t want to pay anyone a decent price. Jim

I think I paid an extra $200 for them to deliver it, and it was easy money to part with. Find a sizable safe dealer near you and see what they'll charge you to load it on a truck. Of course you'll have to figure out the logistics of getting it unloaded on the other end...

When moving something heavy, consider a local tow truck company, they usually work cheaper than a mover. A tow truck used for commercial trucks will have a boom large enough to handle big items.
Of course, it's up to you to figure out how to sling it for the hook.
