I would agree on the cart. You have a lot of good suggestions that all will work
Harbor freight sells them to, I bought one years ago it's been used dozens of times. The table pumps up by foot and it stores easily . I'd invest in one for your lift on the granite. Ok better way for you at two hundred pounds it will slide easy onto the table frame using a piece of carpet turned over with the granite sitting on the backer. Use 2 x 6 lumber from the trailer or truck pull the carpet onto the runners ,,,wood,,, it will slide easy get as close as you can the shorter the span the better. You can use bolts or screws to keep the wood from slipping off the frame or tailgate.
I thought you had something heavy , this is nothing.

How about hiring a couple body guards from the local gambling casino to pick it up and place where you want it?
Down here in oilfield country, roughnecks are in abundance. One can handle a 18" x 24" 300 lb surface plate easily.
Paul, my 18x24 two ledge is 4" thick, and also weighs ~200 lbs. My neighbor and I just picked it up off the floor and put it on the stand. It was not a big deal. If you can each lift a 94# sack of cement, you can certainly lift a surface plate together. Just have things laid out so there is nothing to trip over or catch on, just a straight lift, short sideways movement, and set down. No big deal...
