The present invention relates to a method for moving a heavy object, e.g. an energy storage or transformation device, into a confined space. The method comprising: providing the heavy object in an initial position, the heavy object having an underside resting on a ground surface and comprising an inducible gas-cushion arrangement which in its inactive state cause the underside of the heavy object to maintain contact with the ground surface; activating the inducible gas-cushion arrangement by forming a gas cushion between the underside of the heavy object and the ground surface, the gas cushion generating a lifting force causing the underside of the heavy object to lose contact with the ground surface, moving the heavy object relative the confined space until the underside of the heavy object at least levels with the supporting surface of the confined space, and moving the heavy object into its final position in the confined space utilizing the lifting force of the gas-cushion.
