My mil spec packager once suggested a lifting device called a "duct lift"
I'd never previously seen a picture of one, so I don't know if it's suitable

There's a picture of one here ...

Seems they come in 650 to 750 lb. lifting capacities.
I saw an equipment seller's auction price on one at $250 but it was an old
web page
Here was a variety of one on eBay ...

They should be portable as I've seen HP CE's use them. >>
