Just use some web type slings and you should be fine. Be aware you will be very close to the mass center so it will probably be unstable. I'd consider just removing the knee and leave the turret attached for moving. Much depends on how much overhead clearance you have down the stairs.
I'll use the load leveler to stabilize it some and take it real slow.
