'Chopper-Spotter' transport
I have just bought a 'Chopper-Spotter' (Model E) and need to get it from Cambridgeshire to Dorset.
It weighs over 300kg and would sit on a large pallet.
Anyone know of a transport company that might tackle this job, cheaply and efficiently?

Cheaply?
You must have a chopper and if you can afford one then a few quid to transport your spotter shouldn't be a big deal. (Unless you bought the spotter before the chopper)

Thank you, Joel. My thoughts exactly when I saw some of the responses.
I posted because some single-load quotes I received over the phone were for eye-watering four figure sums. I was looking for advice from people who might have had a similar problem - not sarcasm from smart-alecs.
I have now obtained a next-day pallet load for a less eye-watering two figure sum.

I use a HeliPorter and had it delivered from the freight terminal on a tilt bed car carrier for about $200. By tilting the bed carefully the 1000 lb crate slides gently onto the floor of the hangar. Not sure you can do it for much less given the man hours and equipment involved.
