For heavy equipment that needs to be moved, staged, or positioned without a crane pick, Baxter provides operated high capacity forklift and telehandler service. We work with your team to plan access, travel path, and placement so loads are handled safely and the job stays organized. This is especially useful when forklift moves are part of a larger lift plan that includes crane service, rigging, or scheduled deliveries.

Process

How Baxter Crane Executes
High Capacity Forklifts

For High Capacity Forklifts services we align early with your team to confirm scope, access, pick locations, and sequencing, then coordinate rigging needs and day of communication so the lift integrates cleanly with the rest of the jobsite plan.

1

Confirm the move scope

We confirm what needs to be moved, pickup and set locations, timing, and any access constraints like tight turns, slopes, or doorway clearances.

2

Select the right equipment and approach

We match the forklift or telehandler to load weight and site conditions and confirm how the load will be handled and staged.

3

Execute safe staging and placement

Our operator coordinates with your crew to move, stage, and place loads safely without disrupting active work areas.

4

Close out and coordinate follow on moves

We confirm completion and align any additional moves with your delivery schedule or crane work so the site stays organized.

High Capacity Forklifts Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our crane services

Do you bare rent forklifts or telehandlers?

No. Baxter provides high capacity forklift and telehandler service with an operator. Operated service keeps heavy moves controlled and helps avoid jobsite damage, delays, and safety issues.

What information do you need to quote a forklift or telehandler job?

Load weight and dimensions, pickup and set locations, and when you need it. Photos of the access route, surface conditions, and any tight turns or doorways help us confirm the right equipment.

When should we use a forklift or telehandler instead of a crane?

Use forklift or telehandler support when the move is primarily on the ground, when staging is needed, or when you want to avoid using crane time for repositioning. It is often the most efficient way to keep materials and equipment moving on site.

Can you help with offloading deliveries and staging materials?

Yes. Baxter can offload from trucks or trailers, move equipment to staging areas, and position items for the next phase of work. This is especially useful when timing needs to stay aligned with crane picks or scheduled installs.

What site conditions can affect forklift or telehandler work?

Surface type, slopes, soft ground, tight access, overhead obstructions, and clearance through gates or doorways. Sharing these details up front helps us plan the safest route and avoid getting on site with the wrong setup.
