:

- It's not "overhead lifting", it is simple lifting.

- Lift it a couple inches, then pull the trailer out from under it,
then
lower it to an inch or two above the ground before any horizontal
movement.



I agree with your second point -- that was the plan.

But any time the majority of the load is above head-high, I call that
"overhead lifting". That may be only semantics, but in this case, all
but about 500lb of the machine will be neck-high by the time we can
pull the trailer out.

I got the info I needed (for certain), and the head's plumbing access
drafts are a legitimate place to lift. That solves a whole bunch.
