Moving a large tank downstairs question

[Rmckoy]

Problem with a 36” wide tank it won’t fit through most doorways .
The company I used put the tank on a sleigh made of wood and carpeted .
that was later put on top
Of 4 wheel carts

the sleigh helped a lot to go up stairs . Essentially . Just pushing it up letting the sleigh slide .

putting it on top of the stand and lifting it off was the only lifting .
They are in Toronto . Amazing at what they do !

Fwiw . They called the “sleigh “ a piano skid

So I ended up using 8 suction cups, 4 of us, and made a sled out out 2x4s for the dimensions of one side of the tank, and used that sled to support the tank as it was on its side, and used cardboard to slide it down slowly. At the 90 degree turn, we stood it up, and pivoted it around, and then had two people pull the bottom out and walked in down the last 8 stairs. Cost me $250 in bourbon for my buddies and took 45 minutes tops.
