Thank you so very much!

That lead to this: 1 Ton Capacity Foldable Shop Crane

Not as pricy as I thought and as you suggested, comes apart. If I am seeing right, the legs come off, so should be able to finagle into the garage and get the feet under the front or side. So, will fiddle a bit more today and we all can think. I mean, might be too in a hurry/rash...
