How hard is it to slide (not walk) an 800lb safe(RSC)?

I want to put one in a place that is only a few inches wider and a couple inches taller than the safe. So using PVC, dowels, balls, etc won't work unless they are about 0.5" thick and stay under it permanently.

That leaves sliding it. I have no comprehension of what sliding 800lbs is like. What am I getting myself into? Is there a good material I can put down on the floor to slide better? Maybe some of that white plastic laminated plywood?

Any suggestions?
