Yeah... 6 guys!
Depending on the location of the stairs (if it is a straight shot all the way or not), a dolley could be useful.Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.
Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right. -

put runners on it and pull the sled up the stairs.
or build an A-frame, hoist it up to the second floor and pull it in through a window.'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'Comment

Getting six guys up a few flights of stairs together at the same time might be difficult, I would rent a big beefy refriderator dolly, the kind with the ratcheting strap on it, and blanket the tank, set it firmly on the dolly and tighten that strap down.....two guys on the bottom and two on the top...
What ever way you chose, be sure to take your sweet time about it and don't rush it.....
Good Luck

If you are close to a home depot go early and get 4/5/6 laborers and tell them put it up there! :)Comment
