I understand that it might be too heavy to simply be hoisted out of the trunk. If that is the case, maybe it could be mounted with a hatch above it so you could back into the garage, open the hatch, hook it to a chain fall and hoist away.

Yet another good suggestion. I've been thinking along those lines, and may do something similar in the 3rd or 4th one I build. I've had this poorly formulated idea of a roll-out unit with drop-down wheels, or maybe an accessory cart sized so the unit can be slid out and onto the cart.
Thanks, Ken
