Seriously, in an arena where $5k components are considered just "good", why skimp when it comes to moving components? Hire professional piano movers for heavy amplifiers and loudspeakers. They know how to move large, awkwardly shaped and heavy objects carefully. It will cost in the $200-500 range.
You could also look at it from a different perspective. In motorcycling if your bike tips over the rider should be able to get it upright without anyone else's help. If you can't, then maybe you should get a smaller motorcycle. Same goes for audio equipment. There's plenty of great sounding equipment out there that will still break your bank account, but not your back.
