Thanks guys. I have to transport it in one piece because of the truck bed we're using.

And yes, it sounds like a lot of fun!

you could also remove the mast, band it up and lay that on the pallet.
then secure all necessary items on the base unit.
yes i know its 2 pieces but i've seen them shipped this way because of size limitations on hauling vehicles.

just a thought....

It's fun..
Pull the battery
Pull the battery rollers - they will fall out
Pull the forks off..
Plug/Cap hyd tank, drive unit, brake reservoir.
Secure the carriage to the mast - hard banding AND chains - it will want to slide
Chain/Hard Band the mast sections.
Chain bend the lift chains to the mast - they can get sloppy and break a windshield
Put the cradle on the truck standing up, chain and hard strap/band again AND then lower to the floor. make sure you have lift equipment that can handle the weight and that you have lots of free floor space!
