Forklift Hauling Trailer
The most common type of trailer for forklift transport is a roll-back trailer. These trailers allow for the forklift to be easily loaded. Typically roll-back trailers are not used for long-distance transport. If a loading or unloading dock is unavailable, then a local wrecker service can be contracted to load and unload the forklift onto the transport trailer. At the end of the day, it just takes a little coordination and understanding of the transport company on the best and most economical way to complete the forklift transport for you as the customer.
Forklift Transport
Forklift transport services are available to customers who need to have a forklift transported from one location to another. It is important to understand that there are several factors that can make the loading and unloading of a forklift difficult. Most forklifts require some type of lading assistance if loading and unloading docks are not available. This is because the average forklift is unable to be driven up the ramps of a transport trailer.
Forklift Movers
Forklift movers are transport companies that specialize in transporting forklifts. Most of these companies are usually local companies that have roll-back trailers that are equipped to tilt to the ground for easy loading of the forklift. Forklifts typically do not have enough torque to climb up the loading ramps of a standard transport trailer. In a perfect world, the presence of a loading or unloading dock will allow for the forklift to be loaded onto almost any type of transport trailer with ease. If loading and unloading docks are not available, then forklift movers know that a 3rd party wrecker service may be needed to assist with the loading or unloading of the forklift.
This is why it is important for you to deal with knowledgeable forklift movers that understand how forklift transporting works. The worst thing that you want is to hire a forklift transport company that has no idea what they are doing. This will cause issues for you and could even lead to damages to your forklift if the loading or unloading process is done incorrectly. Our forklift movers can provide you with professional and stress-free forklift transport.

A forklift can be transported on almost any type of specialized transport trailer; however, the preferred forklift hauling trailer is a roll-back trailer.
