They are heavy, and no real good way to get your hands under 
them.  Has anyone set their shack up to use a lifting hand 
truck.  They come with crank or electric winches.  To use 
them, you would need to build a little wood pallet for each 
boatanchor or full size scope, so the forks could get under 
it just like in a full size pallet.  Or, just install 
higher "feet" to give clearance for the forks.  Then, you 
could move the rig from the shelf to the bench to the scope 
cart. Haven't done it but am considering it.  The idea of 
using scope carts is good, but lifting a Tek* 585A onto one 
of the great old sloping carts is not that much fun.  I 
guess you'd still have to lift the scope from the forks onto 
the sloping scope cart...
