This unit was slightly damaged in transit. It had been dropped on a corner. I expected it to be constructed of lite gauge steel. That is not the problem although you will need to be careful in loading and storage to prevent damage. I will do the intended job safely.
The damage to my unit is to the corner of one of th fork tubes, the welded chain link, and the bottom support frame has a bulge in the square tubing. Have not tested it for squareness and fit of the folded pieces yet because of weather restraints.
I would surely suggest a palette rather than a cardboard box for shipping. Even a slight upcharge could be tolerable to insure delivery of an undamaged lift. I will update my review after tha first use.
Chaining it to the forklift frame is a must and lighter tractors should stay on level ground to avoid the possibility of a rollover.
