Sort of. Put it in a crate, then put wooden batons across to support each section of the sculpture and stop it moving. Each wooden baton is covered in polyethylene foam. Depending on the material of the sculpture, it may be wrapped in plastic, tissue or fabric.
Once it’s barred into the crate and cannot wobble about at all, it’s sealed up, then moved about on a palette truck or hand-forklift.
I would imagine they would put something between the hammock and the floor to support the sculpture during transit. Kind of like expanding foam packs used to ship computers.
How do they move this between exhibitions? Put it in a box, cover it in plastic and fill it with plaster or PU foam?

Example of a sculpture half-packed:
This was very cool to learn about! Thank you for the picture as well!!
Carefully, I’m pretty sure.
