I will need to pick up a heavy crate from the UPS freight terminal... The crate is 900lbs, 67"x30"x30. (It's a lathe)
I was thinking to rent a u-haul utility trailer to go pick this up. U-haul has both a 6'x12' ultility trailer with a completely removable tailgate, and a similar trailer that has a fold down ramp. These are the open-topped utility trailer - not the fully enclosed cargo trailer.
I've never picked up freight at a terminal - and don't know what to rent. I did call the UPS frieght terminal and asked what they needed, but they didn't know any more than I.
So, if anyone has picked up something heavy like this from a freight terminal: what type trailer would be easiest for UPS to load a 900 lb crate - removable tailgate, or fold-down ramp?
Thanks,
Bill
