Need a solution for moving pool table to epoxy

So I've inherited this mid-century ranch. Every room needs some level of remodel. The basement has a beautiful old wet bar, with a pool table, and some great asbestos tile I'd like to preserve. The plan is to epoxy the floor. The issue is that the pool table (which is a baldwin from the 60s and in beautiful shape) is too big to move out, unless it's in pieces. It might fit past the bar, but definitely won't go through the door to the other side. So I need to lift it some how, for about a week to cure the epoxy. I've thought about a strap across the joists at the same width as the table, and using a pulley/hoist, but I worry about pulling the upstairs floor down! I've also thought about affixing permanent stand-offs to the floor, like a 6x6 square of maybe thick rubber or wood and epoxy around them. Does anyone have experience with this? Also, please don't mind the mess! it's like and antique store in here, and there is so much to do around the house generally, that basement is the last place on the list. 6 months ago I couldn't walk through the house because there was so much stuff. I mean, until a week ago there were 3.5 baths with 1 working shower and 1 working toilet, in seperate bathrooms.
