When Your Material Handling Equipment Isn't Where You Need It

We understand that lifting and handling equipment represents significant capital investment. That frustrating moment when your forklift is at the wrong warehouse, your telehandler needs relocation for the next construction phase, or your boom lift is stuck at a site that's already finished. Every hour your lifting equipment isn't operational means stalled logistics, delayed material movement, and reduced productivity.

Standard transport services see machinery. We see precision material handling systems that require specialized securing, height management, and operational readiness upon delivery.

Let's move your lifting equipment efficiently and safely.

Meet Isaac. He's Moved Every Type of Lifting Equipment You Can Name.

Isaac started as a construction student at the Technical University of Kenya, but financial challenges forced him to pause his education. Instead of giving up, he joined the towing industry as an assistant—learning to secure loads, handle sensitive equipment, and coordinate complex logistics.

He worked his way up. Assistant. Operator. Supervisor. Manager.

Over the years, Isaac has transported thousands of forklifts, telehandlers, and material handlers. He knows the difference between a warehouse forklift and a rough terrain unit. He understands mast securing, height management, and stability considerations.

He went back to TU-K and finished his construction degree. Then he worked on a major government infrastructure project with a Chinese construction company.

Then he built Archer's Towing.

"I've moved everything from small pallet stackers to large rough terrain forklifts. Every one has different requirements—mast height, center of gravity, stability. I know how to secure each one properly so it arrives ready to work. That's what professional handling equipment transport looks like."

— Isaac, Founder, Archer's Towing

Equipment Assessment

Before any move, we conduct a thorough assessment:

  • Height Reduction – Lowering masts, booms, and extensions to transport position
  • Stability Configuration – Setting outriggers, stabilizers, and counterweights
  • Attachment Management – Securing forks, buckets, grabs, and specialty attachments
  • Control System Protection – Securing cabins, controls, and sensitive electronics

Specialized Transport Configuration

We match your lifting equipment to the right solution:

  • Flatbed Trailers – For standard forklifts and material handlers
  • Low-Bed Trailers – For heavy equipment with reduced ground clearance
  • Step-Deck Trailers – For equipment with reduced but still significant height
  • Specialized Configurations – For unique or oversized lifting systems

Professional Loading & Securing

Your lifting equipment receives expert handling:

  • Center of Gravity Management – Critical for top-heavy lifting equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do you transport forklifts with extended masts?
A: We always transport forklifts with masts fully lowered. For equipment that cannot lower completely, we use specialized trailers and secure the mast in the lowest possible position with positive locking systems.
Q: Do you transport lifting equipment with attachments still connected?
A: In most cases, yes. We have specialized securement for forks, buckets, and common attachments. For particularly valuable or delicate attachments, we may recommend separate transport.
Q: What's your process for rough terrain forklifts on soft ground sites?
A: We use specialized low-ground-pressure trailers and often bring additional equipment to manage challenging site conditions for loading and unloading.
Q: Can you provide short-term equipment positioning within large industrial sites?
A: Yes. We offer intra-facility equipment moves for factory reorganizations, production line changes, and facility upgrades.
Q: What about equipment that needs to be moved between multiple floors in a facility?
A: We have experience with equipment moves involving freight elevators, removal of doors/windows, and temporary ramp installations for multi-floor relocations.
Q: How do you manage the transport of equipment with sensitive electronic controls?
A: We protect control panels with weatherproof covers, use vibration-dampening mounts, and sometimes remove particularly delicate components for separate transport.
Q: Do you work with equipment rental companies for fleet management?
A: Absolutely. We provide scheduled delivery, collection, and rotation services for rental equipment fleets throughout Kenya.
Q: Are your operators certified for lifting equipment transport?
A: Yes. Every operator is NTSA-certified with specialized training in lifting equipment handling and securement.
