Transporting an MPCNC Table

My MPCNC lives elsewhere due to lack of space. But I’m going to temporarily have room for it so I can work/troubleshoot it. I’d like to bring it home so I can maximize my time. It is bolted to a table and the table doesn’t disassemble easily. The table is 38"x38" and stands about 40" high.

If I take the tool out, strap the table down in the bed of the truck, is there any danger of things getting out whack after a 15 minute drive?

I’d secure the rails so they can’t move around during the trip. Just a quick tie around the rail and gantry bars at one end of travel - no need to cinch it down so tight the tubing bends.

When we moved to our current house, I just zip tied the gantry rails to the side rails.

I built my table on wheels, and then just wheeled the whole thing onto the trailer and strapped it down.

It was the first time I think all the dust has been blown off of it since I built it.
