My diesel genny weighed close to 700 pounds. I shuffled it around my garage
on pipe rollers while I was repairing the floor to make a mount for it. When
it came time to lift it onto the mounts, I used a borrowed skid jack. Since
the mounts were higher than the skid jack could lift, I did it with a couple
of lifts using blocks to support it and on the skid jack to gain the height,
rolled it over the mounts and lowered it down over the bolts.

I'm looking at what it would take to setup a 15kW generator for my home.
I
do electrical work so wiring is not an issue but I do have a question
about
how to move the 500lbs generator from the curve to the mounting location.
What kind of equipment can do this.

I was thinking a dolly with wide wheels but once I get it there how do I
get
it to the slab?

4 men grounting??

Find a neighbor with a small garden tractor with loader? I don't think
any are built with a loader too small to handle 500#.
