put tube amp on to shelf of a rack


I am trying to put my vac 70/70 tube amp (105lb) on the bottom shelf of a rack stand and I find it very hard to do for the weight. I want it to sit on a bottom shelf like the picture here: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa4309-vac-valve-amplification-company-renaissance-70-70-mk-ii-tube

I am using either a VTI 5-tier rack or a salamander a5 archetype rack. Anyone have experiences how to put heavy amp onto the bottom shelves? 

thanks.

I keep my 120 lb ARC VT200 on the bottom shelf of a 5-tier VTI rack.  When I recently retubed it, my 22 year old son and I just disconnected the cables, slid it forward, and lifted it onto a table.  I did it once alone but wouldn't recommend it.  With 2 people it was quite manageable.
