You finally providing a bit more information. But since you have done this what else can you tell us? The weights you shift around might or might not be too heavy for handling with overhead crane or forklift. But not knowing more than you provided your best bet is to contact forklift and overhead crane providers to sort out the options.

Other than that a heavy rail trolley system might work.

The more information you provide the better the answer.

For all:

Duplicate thread here.

That is what we did to move heavy steel plates and it works on the long term. Safety made me install an alarm system that alerted when the trolly was activated and or moving.
