How do you move a 1000 gallon tank

[gavigan1]

How do you move 1000 gallon glass tank? I would have to drive 5 hours to pick it up, so I wouldnt be able to get 8 people to help load it on a trailer. Any ideas? Possible equipment I could rent? Thanks

flat bed or a trailer

Very carefully

I could give you some pointers as I moved my big tank with a limited crew, but you really should bring some help with you. PM me and I'll explain it a bit more.

U haul truck with lift

getting a u haul trailer would be easy, getting it on and off would be another story, then I still have to get it in the house.

Maybe a hoist with wheels

See if you can find some piano moveing equipment. Thats what a moving company used to move my 300g. I relocated for an employer and they paid for the move so I don't know what it cost but was pretty cool the way they did it!!!

Get those suction cup lifters and about 10-15 people.

From my experience of moving stuff and running a delivery crew. I would suggest putting in on a pallet and renting a truck with a lift gate (penske) and a pallet jack.
