How to move a stanley range from one home to another

    Hi folks.

    I've done plenty of searching but cannot find a definitive answer.

    I have recently purchased a Stanley Brandon Range cooker and I'm wondering how people normally move these 400kg monsters??

    It's currently stored in my horsebox trailer and was taken from the house and put into the trailer using a digger to lift it with pair of slings.

    I plan to use the neighbours tractor to lift it out of the horsebox in a similar method and carry to the back door, but I'm not sure how to get it into the house and manoeuvre once inside.

    I've seen ranges moved using round fence posts, like how the Egyptians moved stones to build the Pyramids. Surely thats not how the stanley techs do it when installing ðŸ˜

    I'm considering also building a dolly for it, but not sure how it could be lifted off the dolly once inside the house.

    Any help appreciated

    If you can get a hand truck with solid wheels it will move it no bother, just have one or two helpers with you, I have moved a few of them this way.

    Or a little flat trolley and a few big lads to shuffle it off the trolley when in position.
    We moved an old style range years back on cut floor brush handles.
