It was indeed - sadly, said truck is currently out of (heavy hauling)
commission due to missing motor mount bushing and worn-down leaf springs on
the suspension. So no go from here. :-(
As for renting a truck, be aware that only the largest of the U-Haul fleet
are full 8' height, so you may want to send a scout to see whether the
cabinet can potentially be disassembled. Also, I volunteer to drive if you
need a chaffeur who's used to moving big-ass trucks around.

Hi all,
Bio-Link Depot is currently holding a FREE Biosafety Cabinet for us, that
would be perfect to start up CCL's BSL-2 lab room. That means we'd be able
to work with human cell lines and samples, and to isolate microorganisms
with interesting properties (such as bioluminescent bacteria from squid
skin, or oil degrading bacteria from soil).
Catch is... we need to go get it! And soon, because there are other groups
interested as well. The Bio-Link Depot is just North of the SF airport,
only half an hour away if you can avoid traffic. We've been advised to pick
up during daylight, so as to avoid interactions with the security around
the airport.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP OUT, and when during daytime works for you.
The current plan is to rent a UHaul truck with a loading ramp, and winch
it up (the cabinet is on heavy casters). But if someone has a truck with a
lift gate, that would be even better. Marc - the truck we used last time,
was that Rikke's?
Thanks!
Patrik
