Yes, air is required for the safety latch release (for lowering only)- as
well as for the rolling jack. I have standard connectors in place, so I just
plug in the air hose whenever it's needed.
I had it delivered to a shop that does lift installations, and they brought
it over on a roll-back. The driver managed to tilt the bed and slide the
package off slowly, right in the middle of my driveway.
I was worried about delivery myself, and this was the easiest way for me to
deal with it (though likely the most expensive). I know that some people
have them delivered to a local freight depot, and then bring them home on
utility trailers. The depot will load the trailer, but you'll need to get it
off yourself.
Hope this helps,
