s-10

 

I dont get it ?

 

Equipment rental places sometimes have tandem axle trailers that the bed lowers to the ground. If the capacity is enough, that would be an excellent way to move it.
Towing company with a rollback. Might not be as expensive as you think, if you are flexible when it can be moved.

 

Tow truck with roll off is the easiest. I've had several moved. $50 across town.

 

This, It is a little more expensive out here.....
I paid a 130 for a little over 15 miles this year, But I literally had to do nothing other then pick up the phone.....

 

I always have the place that sevices our forklifts haul them when I buy one. They charge 75-100 each time.

 

Yep, just have a towtruck with a rolloff pick it up. By the time you try to get a $10K lbs forklift on a trailer that is not made the weight, up 18" and then off, you will be glad you just called someone and payed the $100. We have done in it the "cheap" way and we will never do it again.

 

Pack a sammich and make it a road trip.


Or just call a tow company. They are kind of a bitch to move. You can buy/rent/borrow a tilt deck or low clearance equipment trailer, but you may still need a winch on a tilt deck trailer (they do NOT like inclines). Make sure it is a solid deck, forklifts like to punch through wood deck trailers if not over a cross member.

 

That's what I need to rent or borrow.

Where can I get my hands on one of these bad boys?

Thanks for all the replies

 

That trailer's suspension is insane.

 

first thing that popped into my head.

How the?
I don't get what keeps the knuckle vertical, aside from the leaf springs, but that's got to be a shit ton of stress on the shackles. that picture makes my head hurt.

 

Ive done it with a car hauler, its a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Cliff notes: as long of a ramp as you can put together, sides of ramp pointing down so ramp is flat, ramp to get up on the ramp, jack under the hitch on the truck to lessen the angle of ramps and reduce breakover angle, Winch.

 

How easy going are the cops where you live? I've road tripped a forklift 20 odd miles before. We've got trailers for all our equipment, but depending on traffic and distance it can be quicker and easier just to drive it.

 

Now that is some funny shit...

 

X10 on the rollback...cost me $75 to go 22 miles...Those things are a pain in the ass to load on even a tilt deck.

Probably not how I would have designed it, but I guess it works...?

 

It looks like the top of the tires are bowed out?

 

Iowa DOT bought me one of those drop deck trailers to tote "my" scissor lift around to inspect overhead hoists with. Works dandy.
I have been amazed the suspension has held up, but the shackles are massive!
I have been pretty easy on it.
That is THE way to move a scissor lift or forklift, if it is within it's rated capactiy.

 

you'll need a crane

 

Ideally, a rollback tow truck is the best way to go, shop around, do it on their schedule and save some $.

Rule of thumb is a forklift weighs 1.5x its rated capacity. I brought my 4k lift home on a steel deck car trailer. We stopped and bought 1x6s at home depot and laid them on the ramps, put cribbing under the ass end of the trailer to keep it from picking the truck off the ground. And stuck blocks of wood at the mid point of the ramps to keep them from folding. It barely had the power to climb the ramps, had to find a low spot to park the trailer in. Not ideal, but we went slow and easy.
