I am flying into Heathrow picking up a crate and heading to Sussex to put my 1100GS into it. Then it goes West Thurrock Essex RM20 3EE.

Anyone have any suggestion re cheap van rental or transport?
 
problem I can see once bike is in crate you'll need long nosed forks to move it if your using a van. Might be beter to a flat bed or curtain sider.

Whats the time scale on all this?
 
Pickup the crate on the 23rd and drop the crate/bike off on the 24th August
 
Ah crap :blast:blast

I can sure pick them. I bet Heathrow will suck on Monday morning :(
 
erm... should be alright I guess, but to make sure the crate is empty on pickup? at Heathrow then needs moving to wildest untamed essex. Bike gets stuffed in and taken back to airport?

Sorry if I seem slow but I have a reputation to up hold

trip is then is as follows

Office to Heathrow on to Essex back to Office on 23rd

Office to Essex on to Heathrow retunr to Office on 24th

and where's the forks I guess heathrow will have some, are the pallets runners width or length ways? This will also make a difference and the over all dims for box

if runners are width box won't fit into van would need to be lifted from another pallet and hand balled around then you need 3/4 guys

but it can be done PM and I let you have my office number so we can speak.

If the above is true it would be better to bring the bike only and let it get packed at Heathrow cheaper and less stress.... but only my opinion
 
I'm outta here (holiday at last) if you need help let this chap know and he'll say yes/no if it can be done, works with me and can get our van arranged if need be.

Trailer for sale or rent... cost you about 50 cents

Not sure if it helps but I am in Midhurst, West Sussex and have a drop side 10' twin axle Ifor trailer if you have a tow car. Its heavy so you'll need something half decent to pull with.

Its old but bold - used last week to carry mini digger and the sides drop off completely for fork lift loading.

No charge if you want it for the weekend. Call me 01730 813229 if you want contact details - I am here all weekend so may be a useful reserve if nothing else crops up and you can run your own schedule.

Thanks for the help and advice guys. Eventually the guy who was storing it for me came back from overseas in time to have the great pleasure in helping me out. I owe him quite a few beers now.
