That might have been me. Two sliding pins, no hinge. I just flip it on top when in storage, and carefully lift it back into place for travel. It's heavy and long -- 50# or so -- but if I get on a step stool right in the middle I can manage it by myself without too much trouble.

I also needed to swap out the outside lights on both sides for lower profile LEDs. There's a thread somewhere with pictures -- I have 1 to 1 1/2 inches of clearance on each side as I pull in/out. I've found that a powered dolly is the best way to do it, for me in my situation, but I also need to get it nose-in so using my TV is not an option.
