C12MMO Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hi All, I've just purchased an engine that I need transporting on a pallet from essex to East Yorkshire. What should I expect to pay for this and can you recommend any companies that will do this? I don't have access to a forklift but I do have access to a pallet truck so it would need to be on a drop tail lorry. It would also need to be fully insured as i'm not the luckiest of people. Thanks in advance Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazil Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 It will have to be a pallet service, within the UK is not bad I paid 220 pounds to have my engine picked up in England and dropped in Portugal. I used these guys http://www.nationalpallets.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Karl An engine will (just) go on a half pallet. Most companies will have their own pallet truck for loading and a tail lift vehicle. When I sent Brazil's engine to Portugal his chosen company were very good and helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Paisleyfreight are very good, and reasonably priced also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Paisley freight are terrible. They cost me an exhaust, and wasted 2 days of another forum members time. All I got from them were lies. Avoid. I've always found Yes! Couriers to be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
