Am i crazy? 420 in an apartment?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That lift is cool if you are rolling it into a garage, but how are you supposed to get the lift and the tank through a standard door?

I think trying to move this tank without at least 6 fairly strong dudes is asking for trouble.
 
The tank turned on its side rolled in on dolleys will fit through my door

+1 on this one. How on earth u suppose to get that lift inside your apt? Yes at least 6 guys. Even on dollies it's not a 1-2 guys job. Not as easy as u think. Trust me I moved my 450 into a apt b4 and it wasn't easy. U need a few guys to hold the dollies in place while pushing the tank. Furniture dollies don't stay in place very well especially against glass. Just giving u heads up. Get extra help if u can. U will need it.

that lift is one that tinners (HVAC duct workers) use. its kinda like a cherry picker with a crank. it rolls good on smooth surfaces, but if you have carpet then it might not do the trick. any local industrial rental co. would have it

How thick is the glass? If it's 3/4" thick that tank will weigh well over 700lbs. Hope you've been eating your wheaties.

I get that it will fit through the doorway on it's side, but how will you get it on its side and onto the dollies with just 2 people? Even if you are able to get it onto the dollies, trying to manuever the tank on the dollies with just two people will be pretty tough.
I would go to home depot and hire some dudes to help you out. Pay them like $10 per hour...shouldn't be too expensive.

I don't think the other guy you have helping you out is going to be very happy with you snapping pictures while he's being crushed by this tank. :ROFL:
