Ideas/Help Moving 200g Tank Norcal

[pete_d]

I plan on moving my new 200g tank about 150ft onto its stand soon. I have a pallet jack to move the tank to about 15ft from the stand. A lift table would help a ton but there doesn't seem to be a company near me in the north bay that rents them out. Does anyone know where I might be able to rent one? There are a few places that can rent out suction cups so that shouldn't be a problem. Any ideas are welcome. As for the man power, anyone want to help? Or know of someone I can call to help out. Moving a tank that weights over 400lbs can be tricky.

Have you given consideration to asking any LFSes or tank maintenance companies if they'd be willing to move it for you?

Heavy duty suction cups, possibly a table jack if you can find one for rest (Hardest part is getting it off the ground to the side of stand). I had six people to move my tank, I feel like having a few extra is always helpful.
