Concert Grand Trucks

[Wolfley, Eric (WOLFLEEL)]

The transporter rides over the truck. The back portion slides in and out to
adjust for length (with an extension for concert grands) and once everything
is finished can be completely separated from the front portion to remove it
from underneath the piano. The two front arms are jointed so they can be
folded in for clearance of the lyre or to get it in your trunk, etc. It is a
very well thought out tool.

I'm somewhat familiar with the transport but am wondering how it doesn't get
in the way when your installing a truck?  Obviously it doesn't but could you
explain...?
