Evening all,

I may have made a small mistake, and purchased a forklift truck without being able to move it.

I thought I would be able to pop it onto a car transporter trailer, but reading about it more, it seems its too heavy, 3.5T ish.

Just about to book specific, and rather expensive, flatbed lorry to collect it. But thought it was worth asking on here first?

Any advice??

Thanks all

You want a second forklift surely to lift it?

I hired one a few years ago (huge fun, even if I did have to lie about my previous experience to be able to rent it...) and it came on a flatbed 7.5 tonne wagon with those hydraulic tail ramps.

Ask if the seller will stick it on a pallet for you?

Try asking at car dismantlers, independent roadside recovery places, see if they have a suitable transporter/recovery truck. Reckon you'd need someone operating a 6.5 or 7.5t truck to have enough payload, but that's their problem to be honest.
