Any Safe Way to Tilt a Load on One Side?

I have a 500-pound concrete pot that I need to move from the back yard to the front yard. Just my luck: the width of the pot at the top is about three inches wider than the gate it needs to go through. Short of getting three or four people to tilt it on edge and try to roll it through, is there any kind of dolly that would let me elevate just one side of the dolly, so that the pot could be slid through at an angle?

It you can get it supported on it side, you can work it through the gate. With the pot on its side, start the large end through the gate. Then rotate it through the gate keeping the side of the base against the gate post. Continue to rotate around the gate post, until at some point all you will have only the narrower base on the wrong side of the gate is the narrow base of the pot.

The quick the diameter decreases as you move down the profile of he pot the easier this will be.
