Often you find that the ' X axis long travel' hydraulic cylinder rod is bent when these turn up from people not used to moving them. The moving table just sits on it's ways by gravity, with the body of the cylinder fixed to the base, and the rod extending to both ends of the table. Some bozo comes along and tries to lift the machine with forks under the table and just bends the rod :(

Rods are available but at a high price.
