Rather than lifting the sculpture how about building a ramp? If the
bed of the trailer is 2' and the plinth is 4' you only need 2' of
ramp. Reverse the trailer up the ramp and then slide it onto the
plinth.
Personally, I'd look for someone with the right tools eg an
all-terrain fork lift. It'd be very easy with that much weight to
damage the trailer/vehicle/sculpture and lose any savings. And if you
hurt yourself mucking around with it? Some things are worth doing
yourself but others are a bit too much of a risk IMHO.
