You will need a specially made cabinet with a lift system for the weight of the machine. You don't want to transport it more than necessary. I.E. for service yearly. People who move this machine to classes etc. are just asking for problems, IMO. I know of at least 2 people who've damaged the knobs in transit. This machine is not made to be carted about to classes. Koala and Horn both make cabinets especially for the weight of this machine. They also offer a few retro-fit kits for the lift system, so I've been told.
