First I'd try to recruit two more people, then I'd get 4 sets of furniture moving straps or whatever they're actually called. We carried in our kitchen worktops on two people, and I think they were north of 100kg each. Makes a huge difference, both in how much you can lift but also safety. Be careful with your back though, lift properly so you don't fuck it up.

Maybe possible through people you know to hire a couple of professional removal mans "on the side" for a week-end job, pay them cash, they should be able to do the job in half an hour or so? I'm in France and my brother in law is a removal man, he does "on the side" jobs during weekends for people and has loads of demands!

Put it on top of the cat, then explain to cat it needs to go towards the shed.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a big Planer Thicknesser, which has a cast iron top and weighs close to 200kg. I'm slightly concerned about my ability to get the thing up these concrete steps (and into the big shed not in old photograph but now existing at back of garden). Anyone have any suggestions on how to get it up? I can recruit a friend but I have doubts I (a skinny former cyclist with a flakey back) and a mate would succeed? I'm guessing it will be delivered on a pallet and in a plywood box but I don't know.
