Now I'm wondering if it would actually make sense in some settings to fill the place with water and use waterproof containers that match the density of water. You could move stuff in 3D with small submarine robots.

Reminds me of TNG: Déjà Q, in order to move something of large mass simply “change the gravitational constant of the universe.” Thanks John De Lancie.
