Usually something like this :



It all depends what haulage company is used, how many more they are delivering, return load etc

AFAIK they would be too heavy for a hiab wagon.

Low loader, beavertail, or wagon with a tail lift usually.

BeaverTail Sounds dodgy!

Anyone care to give me a ball park figure for picking up and droping off a forklift? It will probably be about 100 miles from me? Do they normally work on a cost per mile? £?

You could use a bigger forklift.

Where are you needing it collecting from and delivering to - looking at the pic its only a baby forklift so I guess it only weighs a couple of tonnes

We've got Hiab type trucks etc
