Wonderful article and brings a nightmarish twinge for me as I have experience of handling bulky radar scanners. Can't go into too much detail but a four-man lift, there's a 50-page spec. on handling, they're transported upside down in the crate and the team of four manouvre them the right way up with the help of a handling cart and a sliding dummy plate. The bolt fixings are basic common sense. The important thing to remember was to activate the locking mechanism for transport - oft forgotten with predictable consequences.
