I think the first stage has to be narrowing down a bit the weight of the 
machine on its own and its table.

Also the dimensions of them both.

Without this we can't really work out how we could move it i.e. Vehicles, 
trolleys and number of people.

We'd then also need to check if there were any issues depending on its 
weight with having it in the EC room from a structural point of view

I agree that this is something needing solving and that it could probably 
be done as you say at the stage of working out tools for it.
