A vibration-isolating system comprises a platform (110) adapted to carry one or more loads (120) and an adjustable load-positioning system. The platform (110) is suspended within a support structure by a plurality of isolators (130). The isolators (130) are tuned to impede vibrations in a pre-determined frequency range for a payload having a pre-determined mass. The adjustable load-positioning system is adapted to facilitate positioning the one or more loads (120) such that the payload having the pre-determined mass is centered at the center of gravity of the platform (110).
