Buy a Diamond Cart from Diamond and its not hard at all. I do not suggest a 1 piece slate if you are adding stairs into the mix.
Here is a demo video of how easily the cart is to use:

Thanks for the info but is that cart half the price of a table? And is there really and increase in playability from 1 to 3 slate table?
Thanks
Thanks
I think the carts are $600-700.
With a Diamond tech installing the 3 piece slate, you would never tell the difference.

Is your table a 3 piece Diamond with the slate seams "liquid dowel'd" and then bondo'd??
No offense or disrespect, but, I dont think your comparison is relative to this conversation.

I have a question, which is not all related to moving , but what is the difference between the diamonds in the video and a new diamond tables the video was publish in 2009 , I know there's newer version tables. with regards to moving the table ,what are other suggested method of a 1 piece slate if you don't have the cart.
If you don’t have “the” cart, you better have “a” cart. That sucker is heavy.
Well then will just some big a$$ cart work to move like a wood cart you find at lowes or home depot work?
If you are planning on moving, wouldn't it make more sense to get the 3 piece slate version from the get-go? Then you don't have to deal with a cart or the storage of the cart, or limit the new house when you move back to be a ground floor only installation.
Don’t remember watching the Diamond installers seal the slates, so not sure what they used.
‘Comparison’ is only relative in the sense that it took 25 years before the difference from a one-piece slate could be detected. Who would deal with the grief involved with moving a 9’ slate if they didn’t have to? Typical play/use would likely require new cloth (and joint sealer) in a shorter time period, so see no advantage with the one-piece slate. Antique tables with one-piece/one-inch slate might be a different story (?).
