Put the 4x12 gluelams down chock it front an back of tires with wood blocks nail em in with 16penney nails strap it down should not move I hauled two power wagons back like that one of em on the back had 2 2x12 under the tires laid on top of each other nailed together ,The floor on the rear of the trailer broke on me while loading,hauled em 622 miles from Missouri to Texas across 69 the roughest danged road in OKlahoma blew two tires but the truck never moved it was a rather heavy traier but in bad need of a new floor but it was borrowed and I was glad of the use. Seeing you are in a big town should be pretty easy to find a place rents equipment or has a big forklift just load it with a good size forklift or a small crane there is a lot of stuff available now days and if you look around some buisness is willing to help you out for a nominal fee. Just an Idea I loaded a M 37 that way one time with a 12000lb fork lift. When you get to where you are going find a low place like a drainage ditch of sufficient depth are something you can back into add some ramps of sufficent stoutness should be able to drive it off. I hope this helps
