I am now the owner of a tank pullin monster

I just bought a 2000 lb winch that I fabbed to fit into the reciever of any truck. It has 50 ft of line. I plan to make ramps to go up my stairs, out of plywood, then furniture dollie the 300lb glass tank to the bottom of the starirs and pull it up with the winch. I'd love to do it for other people if they have a direct shot to a door I can pull from. I may make it so it will work at the top of a standard stairwell, but for now it goes to a truck. If anyone wants it wemme know. I think it will save my butt/ or back friday...

oooooh, my pessimistic side is painting a lot of pictures of what could happen to a 300 gallon glass tank with a little misdirected force from a 2000 lb. winch!I'm sure you've thought through a frame across the back to distribute the force from the strap/chain/rope so that you don't apply inward force at the rear corners. It occurs to me that once up the stairs you'll require alot of manual labor to lift/position the tank. They could possibly help the tank up the stairs during the pull to assist in stabilization and lift to reduce drag. Of course I don't want to think of the number and size of frags it'd cost to hire out enough fish geeks for the job

You've thought of everything

Have you thought of the weight of a fully stocked 300 gal tank and it's effect on your "upstairs".  My large tanks are limitted to the ground floor or basement where they can be on slab.
