Default Moving a forklift

I have a forklift that doesn't run at all and I need to move it onto a trailer. I was thinking about using my JK to push it up on the trailer and was wondering if anyone had done something similar to this before. I can admit that I may be too proud of my Jeep and may be pushing it beyond what it can do, and if thats the case I'll find other avenues of getting it moved.

Can you get a snatch block and set it up on on the trailer or in front of it and pull it up that way?

Depends on the weight of the forklift! They get very heavy very quick.... I would look into the snatch block and winch method vs using your jeep to push up. Also make sure the trailer is able to carry it.
