Wayne, I still have mine in the package and I can take pics of what this
looks like when it's shipped.
Note, it weights about 1200lbs. And it's LONG! It's very hard to handle.
I was able to do it with my back hoe and crawler.
I had it dropped shipped to my house for $230 from CA to NJ in 5 days.

Subject: Lifts - shipping?
So, the next question I have is about shipping one of these lifts. They of
course ship by freight truck which presents a problem for my location. I
have
no means to unload something like this and for that matter a freight truck
is
not going to fit down my private road. What I would like to do is pick the
lift up maybe at the freight terminal? If I can set it on my open car
trailer
I can back into the bay where it will be installed and unload it with some
sort of engine hoist/block and tackle combo, or slid it off with some sort
of
rollers. Or better yet since my trailer is a tilt bed I may simply be able
to
prep the columns on the trailer and then "tilt" the columns into place
right
off the trailer (along with some muscle from a couple of guys).
I'll call the supplier and see what the options are but I was wondering if
any
of you have experience with this? Is it possible to have it shipped to a
freight depot and then have the depot unload it from the freight truck and
onto my car trailer?
Thanks
Wayne
