We have found them handy for the bigger hemps as well, but we try and put the square in first then put the paddy above sitting on the lift the tranny out and then put the hand rail in position last but just off 2 doubles. Rather than waste time getting it at the right height I wait till I'm up on the lift before adjusting the height as I find I know the exact height it should be without a tape when I'm on the lift but not when I'm on the step. Striking is just the reverse, leave the hand rail just off 2 doubles, go down and remove rail but sit it on the lift and remove the mid transoms before taking the rail off the lift, simples.
