 Yeah, one or two maybe...

 It's not, so I avoid it in every case except where the manufacturer
 suggests that the weight might bend the frame.
 Then, I give it a hard look before deciding.
 ( usually, that just changes the rigging a bit )

 I dunno....
 I can pull a door in about 10 minutes.
 It's considerably longer to remove the iron, then still have to reinstall it later.
 It's also a lot more work than just rigging the transmitter.
 Fork, hoe, a pry bar and rollers, even just a come-a-long.

 Of course, I'm a guy who has been known to rig and move as much
 as 100,000 pounds or so single handedly.
