We have moved a lot of large HV gear in a minivan, a 10kVA pig will fit just 
fine :) For the record, ours is 28" to the top. Don't forget to bring some 
1/4" or better rope! Tie it down to the pad-eyes in the floor that hold in 
the seats (that you'll be removeing to move the pig). If you can, get them 
to load it for you, on a pallet! It will make it a LOT easier to remove. The 
pallet will raise the pig about 4". Those 4" come in rather handy when you 
have to lift a 200+ lbs object from waist level to get it over the lip at 
the back of the minivan. With the pallet there, it will slide right out 
where the 2 guys can lift it.

Our pig is 13,8kV/240VAC -at- 10kVA and weighs 208Lbs full. We put over 30 
hours into restoreing it (in an autobody shop) and also made a cart for it. 
Pics can be seen on the Group's website.
