Are you able to pick these pallets up w/ a sling? If so, an overhead
rail w/ just a block and tackle or manual chain hoist is pretty cheap
(and more importantly, perhaps, quite simple to erect as opposed to
trying to cobble up a homebuilt lift or scissor table). I'd think it
well worth the investment to buy an inexpensive pallet mover, though.

As mentioned, a trailer with a lift gate and a driver with a pallet
mover and you are in business.

After sending last post, the idea of a manual chain fall or an
electric hoist hit me.

Add an overhead rail and you are done.

Certainly the lowest cost, fastest way to solve the problem, if the
trucking company shows up not prepared.
