I was involved once in moving one of the short ones from the flight 
deck of an Aircraft Carrier down to the compartment where it was 
installed.  That is something I *never* want to repeat.

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...
