What about sliding the S250 up a set of ramps
with some castors or dollies on the base to
reduce resistance? Some castor bases can be had
for not much with some lumber and castor wheels.
Ramps will be more tricky, but some lumber and
some hard work should net you a wooden ramp you
can knock back down once its all loaded.
