Nice. For one of my old jobs I once had to put a 1.8 ton (1800kg/4000lbs) safe onto a pallet and move it to the loading dock from the showroom, without any assistance, or the use of a forklift (a forklift wouldn't fit in the showroom) so that a customer could come and pick it up on that day*. I couldn't strap it onto the pallet either because we were out of straps. So I moved it first and then put it on the pallet. A job which with 2 people would probably take no more than 10 minutes with one person took longer than 2 hours!! I'll leave your imagination to tell you how I got it into the centre of the pallet (since a pallet is wider than the safe).

I didn't injure myself and I didn't tip it over, but there was a lot of verbal obscenities and frustration especially in parts of the floor that kept kinking the pallet-jack.

*The customer was supposed to collect it on another day. It was a genuine 'grade 7' jeweller's safe.
