Hi Kevin, a tilt tray would be the easiest way.

I agree! I hired a tow truck company and they moved mine with a tilt bed truck. It went without a hitch. It was a lot less expensive than hiring an equipment float! Just make sure you let the towing company know the wieght of your carrier. (remember, it is a bit heavier than your family sedan!)
