How long are you going to have your tank taken down for?
10 miles?
That's not far at all.
Make fresh saltwater in new location, and ready to go at the right temperature and salinity as your tank at home.
Then put all the live stuff and rocks (rocks on the bottom) in a bucket with portable airstone/heater. Drain your tank until 1" above the sand. Get some friends and move it.
When at new location, move the tank in place. Fill it with the fresh saltwater at right temp and salinity. Put the rocks in the tank. Then use a bowl to re-acclimate your live stuff to the water in the tank slowly just in case.
Or if you are really buff, slide the tank on a piece of wood and carry it to your car carefully, and just move the whole thing at once.
