I was involved once in moving one of the short ones from the flight

I can't even imagine moving one of the full size ones. OTOH, I wish
one of the systems I support had been mounted in these racks last
Thursday night...

Those are indeed nice shockmounted racks - I am
starting to see them
in the dead ships, but I never want to actually have to move one.
I've moved one, once. AFTER unloading it (it contained one of the
coveted rackmount VAX-6000s), it took four guys to lift onto the
back of a pickup truck, and we were straining.
