forklift to transfer a load to another trailer

I don't know where you are, but where I live, there's a couple of equipment rental places, and they deliver, like Dominos, only more expensive. Google it wherever you are.

 

Another thought and maybe cheaper:
Check craigslist for people selling forklifts. They're selling because they need the money so maybe you can convince one to do a little work for less than what a commercial operation might charge.
Good Luck.

 

Selling because they need the money. lol
Any equipment rental will take care of you, transporting is a huge cost of it, so the closest one may be your best bet.

I backed up on some ice in a truckstop parking lot once, the trailer tandems were over what was a fairly deep pot hole and the ice busted through during the night. I was very effectively stuck. I could see could see a wrecker from my truck, just across the exit from me. He wanted 800 bucks or some such thing to pull me 5 feet, so I walked a block down the road and rented a big john deere tractor and pulled it out myself.

 

Rigging and crane companies. Most will do it.

Maybe also listed as machinery movers.

 

Can't chain it up and limp to someplace near?

 

Look for a mom n pop type independent rental place, they may be willing to rent a forklift and driver.

 

What is it loaded with?
