I can't thank you all enough for the insightful information. I was on the phone for a good 2 hours last night talking to someone who broke down what i needed to do step by step. The trailer being used is a uhaul 12x6 trailer, details here : :// www.uhaul.com/Trailers/6x12-Cargo-Trailer-Rental/RV/
Im uncertain of how tall the racks are, from what was described on the phone I should be able to lay the two racks down in the trailer. I have 2 friends coming to help for certain and may possibly be bringing a third friend. My friends are much stronger than I am, as long as i get the two racks separated and the rl drives heads locked I think we should be able to get it all in the trailer. Im going to wrap all the faces of the drives in movers blankets so they do not get scuffed up,removing the side panels to the racks, and bracing the glass on the tape drive with thick cardboard covered with moving blankets to prevent it from getting scratched or broken. I was honestly planning from the start to take all of the drives and cpu out of the racks, but if it can be laid down in the trailer and i dont have to mess with pulling everything out of the rack and dealing with odd hidden screws on the rails, then that's the way i will do it. I have the muscle there to do it that way i might as well use them, setting it back up here at home should be simple from that point. Ill post back before i leave for the trip to go pick it up, ill probably have a big collection of pictures of the trip and the stuff i got that I will share once i get back. --Devin On Thu, Jul 2, 2015 at 6:21 PM, Alexandre Souza < alexandre.tabaj...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I'd love to help!
