[Elecraft] KPA1500

[Mel Farrer]

Frankly, just get a neighbor.  I used one to get my 750 lb Bauer 707 broadcast transmitter into my basement with a handtruck....

 For Pete's (or fill in your own noun) sake, I can't believe all the hubbub about moving a box from the front porch to the basement!!  Unless Bill is a hermit, how about asking another amateur radio operator in the area to help out; or a next door neighbor?   Unless I am living in a different world of amateur radio, I have never had a problem finding another "ham" to help me when needed; and I have helped out many other amateurs since I have been in the hobby since 1961.
My two cents worth.

 Or go to Walmart and buy a $30 hand truck.
