an unintelligence sentence

Hi guys, nice to meet you.
recently, i have stucked with an untelligent sentence, it's in chapter 4 of brave new world.
"Henry Foster had had his machine wheeled out of its lock-up "
Coherently, i don't know what Henry Foster's machine is, it's never mentioned before, and is "wheeled out of its lock up" just like "run out of its lock up."
Or maybe this is just a idiom, but I'm not sure.
I think i can get some helps from you, thnk you very much

Hi I think you will find that, in the next paragraph, Henry Foster's machine is a helicopter. It is probably a small personal one, designed perhaps for two people A lock-up, here, is a small garage which is separate from his dwelling - perhaps on another part of the street. They are common in the UK where you might have a flat and, a little further away, a garage where you can 'lock up' your vehicle Dave
