Gman...is that because most of your loading is rear load from a dock? Otherwise, unless it's a top load, I would think you would have to remove at lease one side.
I rarely load from the rear since the shipper I hauled hydrants to California closed their plant, locally. I may take down a few panels on one side to load, but rarely take down both sides to load. I should have been more clear in my post. I would guess that I usually don't take down more than 4-6 panels to load or unload. Some loads that use a crane don't require the sides to be down, others do. Often if it loads with a crane only taking down a couple of panels is necessary.
