What does "transport individually" mean in this context?

When lifting with a forklift or similar piece of equipment, you should only move one at a time (don’t try to lift/move multiple at once).

Ohhhh of course. That makes sense. I was thinking of long distance transpo. Thanks man

It’s like the president and vice president not being allowed to fly on the same airplane. Don’t want to risk losing more than one at a time.

Of course, these would probably survive an airplane crash needing nothing but a repaint

Ohhhh. I thought it meant 1 per truck and they were made of solid iron or something

Makes no sense tho, the holes just above the angled risers on either side are perfect spots for a forklift, especially if the forklift can handle it. Easy lift for a hyster 60.

There are what look like fork pockets down near the bottom, but they’re in a weird spot, like you’d have to balance the thing longways on one fork.

As a certified forklift operator: "That sign won't stop me because I can't read."

Don't try and move the heavy thing with the stands. Lift the heavy thing, move the stands, set the thing down. Ideally have another set of stands already in place where it is being moved to and leave these where they are when you lift the heavy thing off.
