Hmm when I wanted to move my 500# anvil I just had a smithing meeting over at my place and had 4 of them put pipe through the hardies and carry it into my shop.

I'm going to try to build a jib crane for my new forge extension to get stuff in and out of the truck. I used a couple of lolly posts to beef up the truss when I used it to lift the big anvils onto the timber baulk with a comealong.

Slow and safe is my motto when it comes to moving heavy stuff!
