Engine Transporting

[awj72]

Just a quick question folks, does anyone know roughly how much it will cost to get an engine transported from cockney land to geordie land?
I've finally sourced an engine for the cbr, just need to either collect it (last option if I can help it) or get it brought up somehow. All ideas muchly appreciated.
I know that couriers work on wieght, roughly how much does a cbr lump weigh?
Cheers guys,


Alan

A 1999 Honda CBR600 F4 engine weighs 59kg and thats quite light, so for a earlier one, add maybe 5 to 10kg on for that.

I don't think a lot of couriers will touch that stuff, that heavy DHL do I believe.

Delivery could be upwards of £50, but definetely shop around . Can you not meet the guy halfway?

for me to post a 25kg mito engine was £32 by parcel force 48


so maybe £60-70, but think most of the major delivery companys have a weight limt of 30-40kg

Most couriers don't want to carry goods heavier than 30kgs..... awwwww.

Couriers dont normally deal over 30Kg. www.postvan.co.uk do though, as long as it can be packed or put on a pallet then you should be alright, they do bespoke jobs so give them a call or email them for a quote.

Cheers mate, just fired off a mail to them, here's hoping.

DHL (domestic fomerly securicor) will do up to 50kg on a omega economy lable, only 25-30kg on the rest

so i assume most couriers will be the same

try a company specilizing in heavy stuff

or

a pallet (could be expensive tho)


i used to work for dhl
