So I,m guessing you have bay doors at both places (lucky), hey if your going to use a forklift make sure you build up those uneven spots you were talking about.  Good lucky and I would love to have more space too!!

Forklifts are good, but I prefer telescopic handlers. If you are crossing uneven or rough surfaces it is much smoother rolling on larger inflated tires. Most equipment like this already has longer forks installed. If you have a low overhead or entry it can be difficult to move equipment into place with a regular forklift, while a TH can put the load down and extend to positions inside or underneath obstructions. I've been able to rent locally and they let me drive the beast to my shop! I pulled up next to a sheriff at a street light and he did give me a look, but no ticket. Saved the delivery and pick up fee. Works great if you get deliveries in an enclosed trailer without a loading dock.

Forgot all about those things! I used them to unload and place 2000 bags of soil modifier on a golf course in Florida many moons ago.
The telescope effect is nice but the issue maybe weight if you go past neutral setting with to heavy of an object. As soon as the weight on the fork pushes past a certain point, the ass gets really light when you extend the arm.. I used to drive around doing nose wheelies all day with a 1000lb bag of modifier  ;D
