Who's picked up an EA Grapple from a freight terminal?

Better yet, anybody have a photo of how this rig is sitting when ya picked it up?

Got an EA 55" Wicked grapple coming.

Can I assume it will be on a pallet that will fit in the bed of my F150 pickup?

Prolly gonna be close to 5' long ain't it. LOL

Don't want to drag my trailer with me if I don't need it.

Thanks

It fit in mine. I had it delivered to my work loading dock. Had my guys load it on my truck with fork lift. I asked them to leave the tail gate down and set it behind the fender wells. They chose to put in between the fender wells scratching my new truck. Lol

We picked up at the terminal. Fit in the back of my dad's F150. They loaded it in for him and once I got off work we were able to unload it at the farm.

Thanks K5.

Yessir, ain't really worried about the length as much as if it will fit between the fender wells. Has to be 4' or less.

So they got it on the pallet where it sticks out to get on the fender wells?

Mine was. No reason to put it inside the fender wells. It could have set fully on tailgate and bed of truck behind fender wells.

I asked them to load it cross ways so it was easier to unload with the forks on my Kioti. That let me keep the weight closer to the lift pins.

Appreciate it.

I went and picked mine up which was larger. Strapped to a pallet; I left the tailgate down and strapped her in. No big deal...

My 60" EA grapple fit easily in the bed of my Tundra (6 1/2' length) with the tailgate up. I put a sheet of plywood on the bed so the forklift driver could set it down and slide it in without worrying about the bed.

Just a grapple?

Disks and grapple, I was on a trip when I saw they got delivered and the airport was over two hours from my house but only about 15 min from the dock so I gave it a try. Disks and 54" single lid Grapple.
