Help Moving Leather Factory

[ramrod]

as i read this thread, i immediately thought of ABF. i see their trucks all of the time with the "you load, we move" on the back. seems like a great idea to use them.

is there a neighboring business that has a fork truck that you could rent?

As far as purchasing patents goes, I did get permission to finish and sell all of the existing stock as "Safety Speed" there is over 400 pounds of leather already cut into holsters, belts and belt gear, waiting to be assembled and finished. All the formed steel springs and inserts too, aling with tons of buckles, clips, and fasteners. All of the cutting dies and forming molds and presses included too. Talking to them about use of the company name beyond that, and inquiring about the patents as well. Luckily my attorney loves my work and likes to trade!

Thanks, that what I needed to know. There's a buncha CA. cops will buy them, I'm sure, not just for the memories, either.

That's what I'm hoping for!

Hey all! Thanks for all the suggestions! We found a forklift to rent in Fort Mohave, which is on our way. $100 for the weekend, including the trailer to haul it! I highly recommend the folks at Fleet Services of Fort Mojave. They are closed on the weekends, but left it out where we can pick it up and return it on our way back home. They took great care of us, and I am happy to promote them and anyone who gives such great, personal customer service.

The forklift was our last major hurdle to getting this move set up. Now the "easy" part, actually getting it done!

As it happens, around four hours after I set up the rental, I met a woman whose son-in-law owns a cement yard in Laughlin. She offered to call him and arrange for him to loan us one of his forklifts. This whole process has involved a lot of people going out of their way for each other. I am extremely thankful.

If anyone is in the Laughlin area tomorrow night(Saturday, Dec 1 2012) and would like to meet for a brew, we are staying at Harrah's.

PM me here and I will check periodically tomorrow night

Not sure which forum is best for this, bu here goes. I just bought the remains of the Safety Speed Holster factory. Lots of heavy equipment including a clicker, 2 shoe finishing benches, 2 big hydraulic forming presses, a few punch presses, stap cutting machine, table saw, a coue mystery machines I haven't seen in person yet, and boxes and boxes of cutting dies, forming molds, buckles, fasteners etc and lots of cut leather waiting to become holsters.

My problem is that I need to get it all on a truck or trailer and Geri it all hauled from Bullhead City, AZ to Lake Elsinore, CA without breaking the bank. No one seems to want to give me a one way truck rental with a lift gate, and nobody in Bullhead rents forklifts on Saturdays. I can do it with a pallet jack if I have a lift gate. Anyone out there have a big stake bed truck with a lift gate i i can borrow or rent for a couple days? Or anyone know of a rental company that can solve my dilemma? I have the man-power and even class A drivers on hand if need be, but getting the rigt vehicles and loading equipment is proving to be daunting. Any ideas?

have you tryed rider or hurtz truck rentals
