<div class="bbWrapper">Looking to start our extension soon and as the site is behind our garage access is difficult. So before timber kit goes up, I need to get 20 pallets of blocks through the garage and stored in the back garden. <br />
<br />
Tha back wall of the garage is coming down anyway so the main issue is that the back of the garage is basically mud. <br />
<br />
Do any of the national hire companies have a forklift that will work on slightly uneven surface yet go through a 2m high opening (maybe slightly taller, haven't measured yet. <br />
<br />
Thanks</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Crane them over the top (if your garage is small and there's hardstanding in front of it then a HIAB and long slings might do the job) OR many sheets of shuttering ply on the mud OR get your mates round with a beer inducement and handball the blocks through from front to back. You could try laying a 'road' in the mud with the first pack of blocks and wheeling the rest with a pallet truck but odds of success aren't great. Blocks aren't that bad to handball.......</div>

Maybe not but that's over 700 trips twos up or nearly 500 if your up for three at a time.<br />
See if you can find a supplier with a moffett fork truck.</div>
