Google "Furniture Sliders" and you will see a lot of products that can help you move heavy products yourself.

Re: Moving A Heavy Wood Stove


I go for the appliance trucks. I'm 53 and just a few years ago I was moving an old stove I have with non funriture trucks and putting it ona tilt trailer. I bet it weighs at least 500 lbs. I have to admit though, it was risky as I had to really get low to break it over on the trucks. I think I even hput a wedge under the far side to help so I didn't have to break it down while it was standing flat on the floor (center of gravity thing).

This was about 5 years ago. Now when I move it, I get help. Won't risk that damned thing falling on me when breaking it down. If this stove had been any shorter, I doubt I could have moved it with the trucks (two wheeler).
