Gabriel was helpful and easy to contact for the delivery of my 2 vehicles. I found the rate competitive and was reassured that I could always reach Gabe with any questions during the planning/shipping/delivery of my vehicles. I have dealt with other shipping brokers before and would recommend Gabriel and All State to State.

Forklift Transport, Handled Right

Forklifts are essential equipment on construction sites and in warehouses, and they play a key role in auto shipping itself, loading and unloading vehicles and heavy freight. Shipping one safely takes the right trailer, the right paperwork, and careful planning.

Before booking, have a few details ready: the forklift's make and model, its weight and dimensions, and your pickup and delivery addresses. Getting this right upfront helps us match your shipment to the right trailer and avoid delays. Larger, heavier forklifts require specialized flatbed or step-deck trailers, while smaller units can sometimes be shipped in a container.

If you're shipping a forklift for the first time or have questions about the process, our team is ready to help.

How to Prepare Your Forklift for Shipping


Confirm the make, model, weight, and dimensions

Accurate specs help us match your shipment to the right trailer and avoid delays.

Document the condition

Take clear photos from multiple angles before pickup, noting any existing wear or damage.

Check for leaks

Address any fluid leaks before pickup so they don't cause problems in transit.

Disconnect or remove propane tanks, and make sure electric forklift batteries are secured and any terminals are protected.

Remove or secure attachments

such as forks, tines, or other accessories that could shift during transit.

Tell us the power type

(electric, propane, or diesel) so we can plan for any handling requirements.

Confirm site access at both ends

Let us know if either location has restricted access, tight clearance, or requires special equipment.

Flag special conditions

such as a non-operational forklift or unusual dimensions, when requesting your quote.
