Fairly common box, and not particular to the carrier, although a lot of the bins on the mk1 seem to be designed for these.

Careful. They fit the oblong bins in the front on their sides...the sides that don't have the canvas strap handle to lift them back out. Once they go in they are a nice fit but very difficult to get back out unless you had he foresight to loop a blanket strap or something around them first.

... or turn your carrier on its side . . .

Well, Ok. If it's the only way.

Ohh Sh_t!, and they're still in there. Must need to be up side down?

I'm sure that's not what they meant by "kerbside delivery".

I would use a winch to load and never drive it on.
Stood next to a trailer once watching one drive on until it lost traction with the deck and turned into a very large dangerous chainsaw.
Now I stand way back.

When moving track, I always ask for the detachable neck type trailers. A few times I was sent the stepdeck which is about 4 feet off the ground. I don't usually have a problem going onto it, but coming off with something like a M113 really takes it's toll on the nerves. The driver has been ground guiding you to move faster, you just hit the tipping point, and any uneven touch of the tiller bars has you coming off sideways. Luckily at that point you already have about 7 feet hanging over, so you are practically on the ground anyway, but as you come down (and are no longer in line with the deck) you have to wonder how hard the landing is going to be.

I'm too old for that crap.
