Needed: forklift or tractor for a few minutes)

I have an oversized welder in my truck, and can't get it out. I would appreciate someone helping me with their forklift or tractor to get it out of truck and onto a trailer, so I can unload from the lower deck.

I would bring truck and trailer to you, flip you $20 or so, just to move it from truck to trailer. The welder has its own built in "pallet" (narrow), and has a lift point on top, so can move with or without forks. It's in the 600-800lb neighborhood.

Would like it to be closest to Bennett as possible (Brighton, Thornton, northern Aurora etc.)

Ha. I’d just call four or five friends and promise them some beer.

Would an engine hoist do?

Usually I would, but due to the sheer mass of this thing, I don't want anyone to lose a finger or hand.

That's how I'm getting it off the trailer. It sits too high in the truck for the hoist. (It is even with the top of the cab)

Sounds like henpecked is gonna help me out with this one.

Let me know if any issues. Our shop is off of Peoria/I70.

I saw this thing today... was glad I was not elected for the beer lift squad.

Did it get unloaded?

It did. It is now sitting on the ATV trailer, awaiting the engine hoist unload, gotta make room in the shop.

I am really curious as to how much it weighs, it seems to be over what I thought it was.

Big thanks to henpecked.

This is what we fought with...
