You might well find it FAR less expensive to rent a
truck with a tailgate at
your destination and use the rented truck instead of renting a forklift".
For the absolut numbers maybe, but with the forklift, there comes
a driver - and the money you're paying i for his experiance andd
skill. We (Jon Zabolitzky and me) dir the same when we unloaded
the last 'small' shipment (a 20' container) at Jon'S place. Several
hundred dollar just for unloading seams high, but he did handle the
forklift in a way we never could do in 100 years. And dropning a
Rack with DEC disk drives more than 5 ft onto concrete may result
in more than just the need for a head alignment. And it was fast:
After less than two hours the whole job was done, we would have
needed more time. Try to considere this, damaging your nifty new
toy at the end of the journey would nullify all your prior effort.
