I have a small 4x8 utility trailer with a tilt bed on it that I could use I guess, its just a PITA to get out since its tilted up against the wall. I dont think Ill be able to use the tilt feature with that much weight but the safe will only be about a foot off the ground.

Flat bed tow truck is the way I have seen them moved or a truck with a lift gate. Well worth it. When I have to move my tool box that is how I moved that thing. Not worth the hassle. Do it right and be safe.

Trailer it. Then see if someone you know has a sturdy A frame with a pulley that you could borrow. (looks like a swing set but much heavier duty) Back the trailer under the A frame and lift it with a chain/pulley combo. Drive trailer out from under it and then use a dolly. When i was 16 working at a feed store, i could move 1000lbs of feed (20 bags of range meal) with a bit of effort. I weighed 145 soaking wet. Get some hands to help ya for sure.

dude rent a flat trailer or car trailer from uhaul for the 50 bucks a day or whatever. make some rollers or some wood ramps to slide it down so it doesnt scratch it up, once you get it on the ground then i dunno
i think that would work, something low to the ground.
