if you have someone to help you lift it in the first place, then have a look at the varius designs of gokart trolleys, one of those might suit. Racing karts weight between 60 and 90 kg's, so the engineering is about right. Don't know about how they wold go on stairs though.
I was thinking of getting one just to sit the tank on in the workshop once it is rolling under its own power, makes it easy to move around if you dont have loads and loads of bench space, and about the right height to stand and work at.
