Juan, Check with your local/state regulations. If you plan on moving the forklift out of state you better check with the ICC. But is has been my experience when shipping on a flat bed or enclosed trailer most states will say ship w/o LP tank connect to forklift. I arranged shipment for units all over the US & to Canada - all went without the tanks connected. The drivers carried small 10 lb tanks on the outside of the trailer & tractor to help in unloading.
