It depends on how far you have to move it. Within a pool hall, they use a pool table jack with wheels which safely moves the table from place to place and is easy to re-level. If you are moving the table to a new location and cannot use the jack to get it through the doorway and onto a flatbed truck, you have to take it apart and will have to get the surface re-finished, including new felt. If you are able to wheel it around to move it, check for equipment rentals to rent a jack - your best option is to rent an auto transmission jack and suse som estrong boards, as you probably can't rent the pool table jack.
