Re: Forklifts
AHH!!! I miss read it. ( read as dont be speedy and in addition dont lock the ball.) 
I saw one of my guys have a trailer crest the incline into the shop and see a coupler lift off the ball and stare him in the face. Said he felt that there was enough tongue wt that all he sould have needed was the 1-7/8 ball even though it was a 2-5/16 coupler. He never tried that again.

With a forklift it seems it wioll be much easier and possible to do it with 1 person. Where could I find one in the Ft. Lauderdale area? how much do they usually cost? it has a tounge weight of about 1500# so would a 2000# lift be enough to lift it and move it?
