Default Loading / unloading large planes alone

What methods do you use to loading and unload planes at your home? Soon I will have a couple of planes that will test my strength and ability to pick them up and load/unload them in my cargo van. I have no issues at the club, as I can help help from friends, but I'm on my own at my home.
I don't have have a trailer and my van sit outside so can't leave the plane there. I store the planes in a vertical rack system bolted to a wall. I considered storing them in their own wheeled cart, but it will consume much more space in my workshop to do so.
Basically the action I need to do is to pick it up from the rack and load them in the van (and vice-versa). Don't want to damage my back.
An ideas?
Thanks
