Not if it was bolted down on a 120x100. I have shipped much bigger.
Ideally with a sheet of ply screwed to the pallet as well.

I won this old Starrite bandsaw on fleabay, It was at a company, The boss got two rather large lads to lift it in to the back of the Honda Civic I had at the time, When I arrived home both my lads were out!!
I unbolted the saw from the stand, It didn't make a huge difference, I almost broke me back getting it to the back of the house and in to the garage on me todd!!
This was one of several bandsaws in our patternshop at work, It broke down and was beyond economic repair so it was put on the pallet and left out back, It may still be there now and I retired in 2020!!

And to say pallets make life easier, he writes, while prepping to be driving 400km round trip this afternoon to pick up a landrover 200tdi engine in a Clio IV. Ask me about how much easier LTL shipping is if I survive damaging my wife's car

I've had a few instances of dopey senders and dopey agency drivers. When my tom senior was getting delivered it was strapped into the wagon, obviously top heavy and on a crappy pallet. The driver started moving it and it was swaying all over the place. I asked him to stop and take it back to the depot to be put on a decent pallet, and I would pay for redelivery. He insisted he could unload it safely.

Fizzy, I would of thought that bandsaw would be too high, I've had stuff refused because it was just over 2.2m
Absolutely perfect !
Right on the limit. Limiting factors are the double deck truckers which only have limited space at the front or swan neck as its called.
Also if you have restricted access and they need to use a 7.5 ton lorry.

Felt this was appropriate - it's quite well known for anyone that watches Alex Steels videos (he's a blacksmith)
From 9.40. You can feel his pain.

Always bolt it down. Never turn a pallet truck too tight. And only jack it up just enough to clear the ground.
And NEVER try to catch it !

I had a driver turn a machine on a sloping tail lift whilst raised and the pump truck at its full height. It fell off and smashed the machine.
Why do alot of tail lifts droop
There are two different types. Can't remember their names. The best ones remain nice and flat and can be large and powerful often rated up to 1500kg or more. The problem with them is that you can't then use a loading bay as they get in the way hence the underslung type being more popular.
