Material Handling Equipment Shipping
Forklifts, telehandlers and lifts — moved fast and priced right.
Warehouses, rental fleets and job sites all run on material handling equipment — and it needs to move between locations, off auction lots and out of dealer yards. IronHaul ships forklifts, telehandlers and aerial lifts on the right trailer, including cost-saving partial loads.
Material handling freight ranges from a small warehouse forklift to a big rough-terrain telehandler or a towering boom lift. Many of these machines move most economically as partial loads combined with other freight, and lighter units often ship power-only when you own the trailer. We match the machine to the most efficient move.
What makes material handling moves different
Right-size the trailer and the price
A single forklift rarely fills a truck. We combine partial loads so you pay for the space you use instead of a full trailer.
Height on booms and telehandlers
Extended booms and tall masts affect legal height. We load and secure lifts so they travel legal and arrive undamaged.
Warehouse and dock pickups
Loading docks, tight lots and indoor storage are everyday pickups for us. We handle access that other carriers stumble on.

Trailers & services for this work
Flatbed Freight
Open flatbed trailers for machinery, building materials and anything that loads from the side, top or rear. The workhorse of open-deck freight.

Step deck trailers add height clearance for taller machines that would be over-height on a flatbed — a go-to for mid-size equipment.
Learn morePower Only
You have the trailer — we bring the truck and driver. Power-only and pintle-hitch moves for shippers who own or lease their own equipment.

One machine that does not fill a trailer? We combine partial equipment loads to cut your cost without waiting to fill a full truck yourself.

Frequently asked questions
Can you ship a single forklift affordably?
Yes — we combine partial loads so a single forklift or lift does not cost you a full trailer. You pay for the space you use.
Do you ship boom lifts and scissor lifts?
We ship all aerial work platforms — boom lifts, scissor lifts and man lifts — on the appropriate open-deck trailer.
Can you pick up from a warehouse or loading dock?
Absolutely. Warehouse, dock and tight-lot pickups are routine. Give us the access details and we will handle it.
