Use this, one person on the back, one person holding the front. Both share the weight while traversing the stairs. TAKE IT SLOW

What you want is a four-wheel appliance dolly. Make sure you get one with a high enough weight limit. Vending machines of that size weigh around 800 pounds, while many appliance dollies have a limit of 700 pounds. The ones you're looking for might either be called "heavy duty appliance dolly" or "vending machine dolly". Make sure you get one with a set of stair climbers on the back. It's a pair of oval-shaped rollers with a rubber band going over it.You lean the machine back so that the corner of the step is touching the stair climbers, and then you lift the machine up to the next step using the rollers in the stair climber. An example of what I mean can be found at http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/material-handling/hand-trucks-dollies/hand-trucks-appliance-stair-climbing/4-wheel-professional-appliance-hand-truck-1200-lb-capacity

Alternatively, if money isn't an issue or you can rent one in your area, look into powered dollies such as http://www.globalindustrial.com/g/material-handling/hand-trucks-dollies/hand-trucks-appliance-stair-climbing/wesco-power-stair-climbing-appliance-hand-trucks. Those will allow you to go up and down stairs without any heavy lifting.

Make sure you walk through the path and ensure that every hallway and doorway has enough space for the machine.
