you dont have to buy the fork lift as he has misled you to it's weight, obviously if you still want it then we will try and help work something out as regards collection.

Get a quote from http://www.shiply.com/ they put it out to all sorts of hauliers looking to use excess capacity or fill empty vehicles etc, if you find someone doing the return journey unloaded you might get it for a reasonable price.

hi jim, sorry mate, it seems the fork lift is to heavy for his truck, hope you get sorted soon,

Thanks, a freind has offered to drive my t2 with a twin axle trailer on and ill go in the navara with a another trailer. Strip the counter weight off which i would estimate at being 1.5 to 2 ton thus making the fork lift 2 ton ish. Well it might work????????

But you'll need a forklift to move the counterweight....chicken or egg anyone?
