Shipping & Delivery Requirements

For all large products — including vehicle hoists — a forklift must be available onsite to unload the delivery. Delivery drivers are not permitted to unload large or oversized items without the appropriate equipment.

Please note:

  • Tailgate delivery is not available for hoists or oversized freight.

  • A forklift or suitable unloading equipment must be available at the delivery address.

  • Smaller items and general parts do not require a forklift.

  • Shipping costs and delivery times vary based on the size, weight, and destination of the order.

If your order contains a hoist or any oversized item, please ensure you have the correct unloading equipment available at the delivery location. Failure to provide a forklift may result in:

  • Re-delivery fees

  • Delayed delivery

  • The freight being returned to the depot
