Default OT Courier to pick up heavy item?

Hi, I have a 60kg item located in Kent which requires to be fetched
back to
my home in Shropshire. Its on castors.

I dont think a regular courier (eg parcelforce) would cope with that?

Does it need to be palletised or what does the team think??

It's more a question of what the couriers think, isn't it

why not ask the people who know ?

My feeling is that it will need to be on a pallet

... not cheap



I don't think the H&S regs allow one man to lift 60 kgs, which kind of
rules out couriers I would have thought.


35kg is the limit.


The hubs that most couriers use..they all sub to each other - will only
do that.

More than 35kg means a door to door truck with a lifting mechanism. =
MUCH more expensive.
