Engine transport

retenzo12 · 2012-04-04 08:50:59

Lads can anyone tell me how I would transport a small 4hp engine to the uk? I.e. is there a carrier company that would take it and what type of money would I be looking at? Cheers

Palletize it to avoid it being wrecked. Ideally box/frame it up then in case they stack on it. People quote faster for a pallet or half pallet than something they're not familiar with.

I got one airfreighted over a few years back just padded with cardboard and bubble wrap. The cowling got splintered and the tiller arm bent.:(
