With a cart, it should be manageable- You may need help lifting it onto a table, but that would be it. A smaller and lighter press like the 9" x 13" craft press ( www.transferexpress.com/heat-presses/craft-heat-press ) would be completely manageable with one person, but limit the printable area to be a little smaller.
Great question Krysta, You can rent one from Home Depot or Lowes- much more affordable than purchasing one, but, there's a whole bunch that work awesome depending on your budget. If you're doing an occasional event, renting for the day/weekend will be more cost effective. If you plan on multiple events purchasing one makes more sense. Just be sure the generator and any cables are rated to at least 20a (most that we've used are 30a+ and don't have any issues) We've heard great things about the Predator generators from Harbor Freight for being budget-minded buys. The 2000 watt version has a 120v 20a outlet that should work great for a heat press and keep the cost under $600.
This is an awesome video
