HRMA shipping container on skip-loader. The skiploader is a mobile unloading platform; the deck of the platform lifts and lowers on a scissor-jack mechanism. The skiploader was not adequate to transport the HRMA over the road, so after the HRMA was clear of the C5, the shipping container was lifted by crane and placed on a Kamag truck, "Franz," for transport to the XRCF.
