Who disconnects the machines?
You do, or a contractor you appoint. Buyers' riggers lift, load and transport, but they expect the machine to be isolated from power, air and coolant before they arrive. Disconnecting is usually a job for your own engineers or an electrician. Do it before the collection window opens so nothing is held up on the day.
