We're talking about a forklift here....you going to drive it to Ireland?

[Eric Mc]

Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland?

[Gargamel]

Sell it here

Carry paper money to Ireland

Buy one over there

Is this helping at all

Not me, but I bet someone is stupid enough to do it! I bet they could even raise sponsorship and pretend it's a charity challenge!

Did you get this sorted? PM if you want with dimensions and I will take a look and see what the best routing is and price for you.

Cheers

The buyer is looking into it at the moment

Cheers for the suggestions all!

A forklift will require a specialist haulier that has either 1) a suitable low loader or 2) a bespoke forklift transport trailer as used by MHE manufacturers. I'd contact one of said MHE suppliers and enquire about their transport sub contractors (if they're not in house- you may be able to negotiate a groupage arrangement) or google low loader/ heavy haul operators. Alternatively there are several hauliers who run between Ireland and England, Montgomery, Mcburney, DFDS but they may not have the specialist capability.

Try Robert Walker Haulage. That's their bread and butter and they have 100s of trucks.

You could try McGrath Haulage based in Northern Ireland.

33 Carrycastle Rd, Dungannon BT70 1PZ
028 3754 8623

He usually deals in STGO Cat2 so could probably slot a forklift in

Or Archer's who are based in Birmingham so the job may appeal.
