In the end I did succeed, but had the rack slipped

did do!) I would probably have severely regretted the consequences.
Fortunately the lesson was learned without pain. I never again tried
to move up a flight a stairs a rack that's over 5% taller than me and
nearly as heavy as me by myself without straps/ramps/wheels/mechanical
and/or human assistance.
Well. Remove everything that you can remove easyly so that
only the
four posts, bottom and top are left over. Lay the rack on its left or
right side. Step _into_ the rack so that you look at the bottom. Pick
it up, so that the posts stay horizontal. You have to try a bit to find
the right position to grab to have the whole thing in balance. Now
walk. Surprisingly easy. I even got a rack upstairs that way.
Is there clearance between the side of the H960 and
the grey sides for
the M6 bolt heads, or does your rack lack the hang-on metal sides?
There is plenty
of space. The rivertrs aren't that small too.
Ohhh, sorry. I just noticed that my racks are not H960. They look much
more than the aforementioned SA600 rack. That confused me. So they may
be of the H9612 / H9613 variety. Actually the H960 is welded. My
PDP-11/34A came in a H960. I had to leave the rack behind as I could
not dismount it. It didn't fit my car... :-(
