The delivery truck had a liftgate. Parked perpendicular to me, the crate was slid off on to my pickup. Tied off and deck lowered, transport was easy. In the basement I slid the crate out and lowered the end down to a furniture moved, then rolled t away and lower the other end to another mover. The crate was in good condition and I found no damage during inventory. Everything was packed very nicely.
