I know this is not too applicable since I'm in Italy, but when we moved
our 4381 to the museum I called all the companies selling fork lifts in my
area. Most of them were willing to rent them but only for a minimum of
one week and the cost was too high. At the end we used a single big truck
used for food transportation (was refrigerated too, but turned off) that
had a what-ever-its-called moving/raising platform. Had no problems lifting a
2 CPU 4381 and 3480 tapes. It was so big that the whole data center fit
inside and there was some room left; we put a dismantled Convex inside..
got some photos of that day.

At a customer's site they have 3 780 waiting for their last trip; last
week they just decommissioned 3 11/70 on of which in a DEC DATASYSTEM 720
cabinet (don't remember the exact number). Wish I had more room; maybe
a should junk my 11/40 ;-)

Eric, what are you moving? I lost your previous posting. Are you betraying
your iAPX 432?
