Bit beyond most scrappies' recovery trucks.

Nothing is beyond a scrappie's ability to get it onto the wagon!

Some of our local culturally inclined collectors of unsecured metals
were shifting a fork lift a while back - by towing it down the road
behind their van! Ploddio had other ideas when they saw it.

Need a specialised
low-loader which I've only seen the forky recovery guys use.

Dad used to move fork lifts years ago, long before beavertails were
around. He just stuck two planks down and winched them up onto a
flatbed wagon. The same principle was applied to everything from cars
to machine tools to hovercraft (hovercraft are a bugger to load).
