I always get a 26' truck with a "rail lift" (vs "tuck under").
The major impact for me is the size of the lift gate (and how it operates). I just get a
bit nervous about smaller lift gates.
That being said however, there's not a lot of big stuff (especially if you broke down
the pallets) left, so probably a 16' would be more than enough and now that I think
about it (unless you *really* wanted some of the racks) it might all fit in a big pickup
truck (ie 8' bed) or cargo van. There's a lot more than that but a lot is well
and truly "junk".

Hypothetically speaking, if a lift gate truck
magically appeared at the storage site in a couple if weekends, how big would it have to
be to haul away all of the unwanted computer hardware?
Just thinking out loud here... ;)

Sorry, the "other" vax that I discovered when I was first digging out what was
in storage was an 11/785. Given what an 11/785 is, you can probably figure out how
*tight* the storage units were packed. ;-)
That reminds me of once when I was crawling through a surplus yard of mostly military
surplus stuff. I found a FIRE TRUCK under a pile of stuff, and I had walked by it 2 or 3
times before I saw it!
I don't suppose that 785 is free, is it? Because that would probably push me over the
edge enough to fly up there and then drive back in a rental truck... ;)
I do have *lots* (2 pallets worth) of various
uVaxen...no one has shown *any* interest in them, so it's off to the scrapper. :-(
The 4000/700 is the first Vax that anyone's shown any interest in. There are other
Vaxen of that ilk (same sized cabinet as the 4000/700). Hmm.
Oh, man, that hurts to hear. I wish I was a lot closer, because I'd let that stuff
sit in my sea containers rather than going to scrap. :(
