HI bros,

well make things simplified as much as possible since i dun wanna let out anything classified.. we use cranes to remove power packs(engines), transmission and such... mainly uses cranes since armour stuff are kinda heavy..seriously damn heavy..
we don't usually raise vehicles since its a huge monster that weighs tons! so we use something called the floorboard to go under the vehicle to access areas that is under the tank. generally in armour..things that needs to be taken out are mostly taken out via the top or the sides.. nothing much comes out via the bottom unless we're doing routine servicing such as draining oil/ radiator water.
to lift the vehicle..we usually use jacks similar to the car jacks u see at workshops, and that is only when we need to do track changes or any thing that involves the track system..
hope these helps..and hope i'm not revealing anything classified...mod pls edit if i reveal anything classified k? Cheers!

armour units are practically a metal box. look at the m113. it's basically an aluminium box with additional things on top.

Normal 5 tonner i think just drive over this 2 concrete slabs la... Then again, i think it's the same for all vehicles...

Normally we just throw it to the GSMB guys.

from armour =/= armour trained =/= from armour. <--deep deep statement.
Anyway, to keep things easy,
if the thing is in front, it comes out from the front. If it's from the back it comes out from there. If it from the top it's taken out from the top.
How do you take them out? The same way you handle Large civilian vehicles - Crane/winch for heavy lifting. The rest is all human muscle.
Drive onto a (i forgot the name) it's just two concrete slabs with space in between(like you standing on an open drain).
2 men can stand shoulder to shoulder and stand without hunching too much.
For day to day maintainence, floorboard with wheels(if you are lucky) else back crawl underneath and do the things with your hands/tools -

If your workshop has a ceiling mounted crane, it'll be easier. If not, suggest it gets installed.
