What does a Tennant T500 weigh for shipping?

About 710 lb once it's on a pallet, which is what a carrier bills on. The machine's own dry weight is lower — the pallet, banding and any battery pack all count. Carriers measure and weigh the skid, not the machine, so that's the number that matters.

Can you ship one that was sold "local pickup only"?

Yes. That wording means the seller won't arrange transport, not that transport is impossible. We handle the pickup, build the skid if the yard won't, and get it out before the removal deadline.

What if the yard won't load it?

Common, and it's the usual reason a removal fails. We confirm with the yard whether there's a forklift and whether staff will operate it before a truck is dispatched. Where they won't, we send equipment that doesn't need them to.
