I work for an injection molding company and our toolmakers have to move 200
to 400 molds and plates all the time by hand.  The way they do it is to tap a
1/2-13 hole on each of the four sides.  They then take a piece of 1"
hexagonal or round stock about 4' long, turn down the end and thread it
1/2-13.  It is then a fairly simple thing to thread it into any side and
stand the mold up or turn it.  With long bars, two normal sized men can
manipulate a 1000lb mold.
