As with any heavy object, one must always lift with your legs and not your back. Objects over 60 pounds, to be safely lifted/carried any distance, must be done with at least two people. It's also a good idea to wear gloves when carrying so you don't scratch yourself on anything, though sharp edges/corners should be filed and taped.
