497:. The most time-consuming part of the site preparation included the excavation of a large pit into which the steel firing platform was sunk. The mortar was then assembled by the gantry cranes which ran on two parallel 60 cm gauge tracks laid 7 m (23 ft) apart, perpendicular to the line of fire on each side of the pit. First, the firing platform was lowered into the pit and anchored. This platform had several pilings that were sunk into the ground to absorb some of the mortar's recoil forces. Second, the carriage was brought in and lowered onto and fastened to the base. Lastly, the 9,275 kg (20,448 lb) barrel was lowered onto the carriage. The construction of each part was one simple operation.

The carriage was of simple construction and was made from steel beams that were welded together to form a box with a large hollow center section to allow high angles of elevation. The recoil system consisted of a U-shaped gun cradle that held the

However, a paradox faced artillery designers; while large-caliber naval guns were common, large-caliber land weapons were not due to their weight, complexity and lack of mobility. Large-caliber field guns often required extensive site preparation because the guns had to be disassembled into multiple

rails for the last leg of the journey from the rail station to its firing position. These narrow gauge tracks were also used to re-position the mortars and bring up their ammunition and supplies. Later in the war road wheels which allowed the mortars to be towed by a traction engine were developed.

and then reassembled before use. Building a new gun could address the problem of disassembly, transport and reassembly, but did not necessarily address how to convert existing heavy weapons to make them more mobile. Rail transport proved to be the most practical solution, because the problems of

and projectiles. During loading the barrel was lowered 6° and a shell was brought forward by a cart that ran on a rail to the breech of the mortar. A crane was used to lift projectiles onto the cart. Ten mortars and two spare barrels were ordered in
November 1914 and built under the designer's

Although intended to be a coastal defense mortar, it is unlikely that any MLE 1914's were deployed in that role. In the coastal artillery role, the MLE 1914 was intended to pierce the decks of armored warships with high angle plunging fire, rather than piercing their side
