We once moved a 3u server 30 miles between data centers this way. Plug redundant psu into a ups and 2 people carried it out and put them in a vehicle.
hopefully none of these server moves that people have been talking about involved spinning disks. If they did, kit damage is one of the likely outcomes - you seriously do not want to bump active spindles:
www.google.com/search?q=disk+platter+damage&tbm=ischSSDs are a different story. In that case it's just a bit odd as to why you wouldn't want to power down a system to physically move it - in the sense that if your service delivery model can't withstand periodic maintenance and loss of availability of individual components, rethinking the model might be productive.
