PatrickLXdesker Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I've got 4 7ton platforms to take off a trailer and put into storage. They've got the gaps in for forks to go through, however the forklift I've got to use won't fit it's forks into the gap. A forklift with small enough forks isn't rated to 7 ton. I've got ratchet straps that aren't rated highly enough to lift the load, steel decking and other bits and bobs you'd find in a staging warehouse. Any ideas?

kerry davies Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Forget it and put the whole shebang, trailer and all into storage. The question is; how did they get themselves onto the trailer in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marineboy63 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 You could sit the small forklift on the forks of the big one........... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickLXdesker Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 They got on with a telehandler with extra weight on the back of it, which we didn't have access to. We've got it off, it wasn't fun but it got done. It did take 3 hours though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry davies Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 That reminds me of a De Niro quote from the film Ronin; "Never go into a place you don't know how to get out of." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iains Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 A lot of forklifts have the ability to move the forks in or out of centre, but as someone else replied in this post why load soething you were fairly sure you could not unload, then I looked at your profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roderick Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I am just curious about the 7 ton platforms. Who designed them like that?What are they made of and how big are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it's not just me wondering this! 7 Tons must be getting on for the same weight as a medium single decker bus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seano Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 They got on with a telehandler with extra weight on the back of it I'm intrigued by this bit. Sounds dodgy. Didn't take any pictures by any chance did you? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
