How to move and transport an 80 gallon compressor?

Put a moving blanket in the truck, set the compressor upright about 2' from the tailgate. Have a friend help tilt the compressor, using the tailgate as a fulcrum and then slide in as its laying down. This way your only lifting a small amount of the weight.
You will want to drain the oil first of course.
Done this many times, easier than you think, may not need help, I didn’t when I got my compressor.
