Loading the Rover

Clicking on the thumbnails below will allow you to see a larger image.

Here is the view from inside of the shop looking at the front of the rover. We are getting ready to load it onto a truck so it can be transported.

The rover was so heavy that we had to have a forklift carry it out of the building. The rover is actually under the blue tarp.

The forklift was able to get the rover picked up and we were very nervous, because it was raining very lightly and everything was very slippery.

The forklift had to back up and turn around to place the rover on the truck.

Here is the truck that the rover was getting put on. As you can tell we were all a little nervous.

There wasn't a lot of spare room while loading the rover into the truck.

Very slowly we were able to get the rover further into the truck

The forklift finally set the rover down inside the truck.

The forklift then backed out of the truck and it was our turn to help secure it.

Here is a final shot of the rover in the truck before it was shipped.
