neutral  Richard Stephen: Your reference lists "DRAW-OUT trolley" which corresponds to Bernd's suggestion in the Discussion Section. However the reference document is a (poor) translation, obviously not done by a native speaker, so don't know how reliable.

  -> Bernd does not mention my suggested "trolley" - I'm not a plagiarist. Anyway, there are 2 main options of the draw-out technique: sliding & rolling. The latter uses trolleys.
