Claim 14:
15. A sonic tooling handling apparatus comprising:
a gantry support structure including:
a base frame structure having a pair of spaced-apart, transverse support members,
an overhead frame structure operatively coupled to the base frame structure, the overhead frame structure having a pair of longitudinal beams with each longitudinal beam having a length and a transverse beam having a length coupled to the pair of longitudinal beams, the transverse beam being movable along at least a part of the length of each of the pair of longitudinal beams, and
a lifting device operatively coupled to the transverse beam and movable along at least part of the transverse beam, the lifting device includes a sonic tooling clamp configured to clamp onto sonic tooling, the lifting device configured to raise or lower sonic tooling held by the sonic tooling clamp; and

a sonic tooling holding rack having a plurality of stanchions configured to create at least one sonic tooling holding space for holding sonic tooling, the sonic tooling holding rack having a pair of spaced-apart, transverse support members, the sonic tooling holding rack being configured to be removably mounted on the base frame structure of the gantry support structure,
wherein the transverse support members of the base frame structure are configured to contact and support the transverse support members of the sonic tooling holding rack when the sonic tooling holding rack is mounted on the base frame structure, and wherein the sonic tooling holding rack is configured to be removed from the base frame structure by disengaging at the transverse support members of the base frame structure.
