Hi all,

Have a friend (not a member of this list, yet) that recently acquired an M400. A packing service is going to crate it for him to have it trucked.

Any tips on preparing the 'tron for the crating/move (i.e., should we remove the tape frame, etc.)?

Best,
Chris

Thanks for the advice.

One more question: Is the top strong enough to allow the 'tron to be strapped (as gentle yet secure as possible) to a pallet? If not, how does one secure it to said pallet?

Thanks,
Chris

Avoid that problem and unbolt the feet.
