Does anyone know if GL has a forklift at the Hooks Texas base.
I have two M105 trailers to pick up and will probably do the flipped transport technique if I can use the forkilft or they will run the fork lift for me.

They used a small forklift to load some light kits on pallets for me last year. But they also recently sold a pile of 5-ton trailers that were stacked, so they must have a forklift capable of unstacking those trailers.

it all depends on what part of hooks your trailers are at , the area i went to they had a fork lift but it was a small one , but take my word for it you do not want them loading the trailers for you Mr.Jim the kid that attemped to load mine smashed both my airlines on one trailer and the trailer light hook up on the other , both the airlines and the trailer light hook up were new the kid had no clue to waht he was doing . luckey for me Justin Wehring showed up and used his jeep with a pintel hook and just back um on . Good luck

That sounds like the forklift operator that loaded my light kits. I think he was only one step above a banjo picker on the banks of the Chattahoochee river.

I was down there three weeks ago and they were absolutely no help in any way, what should have taken 45 min. with a fork truck took me three hours using my winch. Take everything you will need to make the recovery. I guess they will have to help with the double stacked trailers, but don't expect anything else! I only buy single trailer there now, no more loading up the car hauler for me.
