Ok guys I'm in a bit of a pickle.

I have a 2400 x 1000 x 400 frag tank and have just moved it to the other side of the country only to get stuck at the back door. My issue is that I will need to get the tank on its side but with it being so shallow I can't get suction caps where I need them. Any suggestions on how I can achieve this without chipping or cracking it????
 
Build a skid or crate with the frag tank on its side .

the company that moved my tank called their crate style skid a piano skid . Essentially a sleigh covered in carpet
Ratchet straps secure the tank to it .
moving blankets protect the corners
use carts or dolly’s as pictured above to wheel it in through the doors .
 
I’ve got dollys and everything it’s just the point of getting it on its side. If I have enough blankets under it can I push it onto it’s side. It’s the lift and turn to its side that’s the problem.
