Had to pick up a 100 gallon water tank and knew there was no one but left the secretaries at the pluming company when I would be getting there. Tank was over 700 pounds and there was no way I would be getting it in the van myself.
I did have some room to work with and was in a lot covered in rock so the first thing was to tip it over and roll it behind the van. Then I used a 4 x 4 post ran thru the open windows up front for a hitching point for a come-a-long. Used the car ramps for it to inch it's way up the back, and after about 15 minutes I was on my way to the yard.
You may want to use a beefier strap then I used depending on the weight and a towel draped over the cable/strap is a good idea in case it breaks it will slow down the whiplash.
