How do you lot move oil boilers around I've got to fit a combi next week and not looking forward to shifting it.

I've got a sack truck up to 200kg but it never used to feel too sturdy under a heat only let alone 160kg of combi boiler.

Naturally everytime I get an oil boiler I strip all the baffles, burner, expansion vessel and pretty much everything that comes off it easily to strip as much weight as possible but I bet it's still 140kg.

What do you do. Oh and I'm by myself.
 
Either a sack truck with some ratchets from screwfix or a skateboard I purchased from the random isle in Aldi’s. Was like 30 quid or something and takes 250kg; god send on some jobs!
