I'd wrap a nylon rope around the upper half of the post 3 or more turns,
then tie it around one fork. Take the bolts loose, then lift the post
off the studs. You can then lay it down with the forklift, and put it
on the forks.
But a 2" web strap will work too. you still want 3+ wraps.
Take out a good short term life insurance policy while you're at it.

1. A fork lift. with enough lifting chains or nylon slings to handle the

2. A UHaul trailer, [I suggest a car haul trailer would work, with sever

I wouldn't be so worried about this, honestly. I just sold a 350SDL that I
put 20k miles on with no issues, bought with 142k miles. Oil consumption
was average for these, 1-2 qts between 3-4000 miles changes.
