Default Fork lift car? Quick answer needed please.

G'day All,

Have searched but not getting the info I need,

I may need to forklift my newly acquired '79 parts car onto a transporter, if FORKS ARE PLACED AT THE NORMAL JACK POINTS will this take the weight and prevent the "Rails" from crushing.

I need to sort this before I fly back home this afternoon.

Tia

as long as it clears anything in the center of the car, that will be fine. I have forked cars using a 4x4 between the jack points and the forks to ensure clearance. No big deal if the operator and forklift are up to the task.

Since you did say it was a parts car, we pick them up through the door windows
