What is on the other side of the door upstairs. Is there enough room to bring it straight out of the door once you get it to the top or will it have to turn once at the top.
If there is enough room, Then find a way to ensure the winch is anchored across the room.
As many have pointed out top heavy equals possible flip that you do not want. I agree with mount it on 4x4 or possible 2x6 or 2x8s as runners One it spreads the load, but also gives you a bit of a handle to help get it out of the door and into the room. I would also use the wood to attach to the top of the table then turn it over and bring it up the same way.
Good luck and get plenty of people to help you so you do not get yourself hurt.
After sleeping on it, I've decided to buy a yellow pine 2 X 8, saw it in half and cut it's halves off to a length the wood runners will straddle the stairs... what ever that length is. Good ideas here, thanks guys, I'm going to consider and use a few of your ideas I hadn't thought about.
