don't think too hard about it... the riggers can move it easy.

superhet has the right idea about the corners and not letting it lay flat on a surface because it's hard to get under it...

but that's just one way to skin this cat.

I'm of the slide and roll school... the ratchet straps make for something to grab, yeah.

seems to be the weight on the bottom can be an asset depending on what ur doing. The COG at the bottom.
If you take out the iron, the top becomes the bottom?? Due to the weight bein' high now... or maybe just equally
distributed.

I see the two big irons on the bottom at ~<200lbs and ~85 lbs respectively. Yep that is the same as a small 4 cyl or V6 engine... maybe 200lbs is in the high side, maybe not.

Looks to be that if you can get at the bolts near the wall ok, that you can pull the BIG iron easy enough.
Do not drop on toes.  Shocked

I still like the layered moving blanket/plywood and boots up on its back routine... the big iron will just sit there.
And if you pull the biggest iron the rest will be fine...

WOW...
That's what Americans are supposed to build!
If those are thru-bolted nut and bolt affairs who's going to stick there monkey mitts under Ray with a combo wrench?! Splut...
Removing the iron seems best if an old hand does it conscientiously.
If not, I think it will be fine also. It will just take a bit more creativity.
