Me, too; but I suppose the side rails have a lot of strength in the
vertical dimension and the torque was possible because of insufficient
stiffness in the lateral dimension.
I forgot to say that the 3745 itself did not *fit* on the ramp - they
balanced it on a 4-caster furniture dolly that did. The bottom of
the 3745 cleared the side rails by less than an inch. The box itself
was at least 72" tall (perhaps 78") and no less than twice as wide as
the ramp!
I think the stooge on the left came about 6" from being crushed by
an FEP.
