Need some quick advise. going to pick up a system 3 after work in a 19 Jeep Grand Cherokee. From what I read, it will not fit, but maybe sideways? Anyone have any incite on this? If you transport it sideways, does that prose any issues to the cabinet? it will be a 2.5 hour trip each way.
Quoted from Bax1:If you transport it sideways, does that prose any issues to the cabinet?
As long as there are no structural issues with the cabinet and you stretch wrap it well with several layers to protect the artwork, it should be fine.
System 3s are notoriously taller than most any other machine with the head folded down. So much so, that I had to lift the shell on my Tacoma 3 to 4 inches to make one fit where all the others just slide in.
You might want to take measurements.
should be able to disconnect the head hinge without the wiring harness coming off. slide it down the cabinet, pack well, and then stretch wrap. taking the head completely off is not that big of a deal either. I did that when I moved a world challenge soccer downstairs mostly because it was so damn heavy. Took the PF out too.
Bally 6803 are tall too. Special force did not fit in an old blazer where everything else did.
Barakandl is spot on. When I bought my wipeout I had to slide the head down a good ways and strap it down. I did not have to take the wire harness off.

that might be the best vs being on its side right

Ive done that with system 3s too
Quoted from Phat_Jay:Yup they are way higher, everything else fits in my escape, system 3 did not.
new gen? 2013+?
They fit in my 2005 but not my 2015 escape.
I have also had to tip a gladiators sideways to fit in a escape or pilot. otherwise on a waterworld I unscrewed the head and slide it forward to fit it in.
