It's amazing what you can move with a winch off a car trailer, rope, wooden rails, dexian and the frame of a bread trolly 'borrowed' (they know me) from the local supermarket.

Moving an AC unit would be Hmmm. How heavy is it (best guess based on manufacturers spec), what have I got (winch, skids, whatever comes to hand) and safety. Once you get beyond the point where you know there is no way you (with or without friends) can lift it you start thinking.

Not always successful. When I was trying to move a large cast iron stove out of my workshop it slipped, took the wing of my mates car and put me in hospital (my hand was between the stove and the car).

You know when you've truly fucked up when it doesn't hurt, just goes numb. Time to get the wedding ring off before things start expanding, kid yourself that you can get away with an ice-pack, then it's down to a & e.
