Winch + lift strap.
That's more or less what I'm planning on. Glad to see it seems to work. Last time I had to move my toolbox it was a considerably smaller and lighter box, and I just emptied the tools out of it and we lifted it into the back of my truck.

Not IMHO.

#1. the angle of pull pulls the strap into the wheels.

#2. The box is more tippy due to the strap being so low.

#3. It drags the strap ($$$$) and winch line across the edge of the trailer.

#4. It places the stress of the entire box on two wheels.
