Any member that are freight forwarders??
Where do I look for affordable options??
Have done a couple of online quotes but I'm assuming it air freight based on the price. I'm assuming by boat would be fairly cheap.

For that size parcels you will find the courier services your best option. TNT, DHL one of those most have an economy or off peak service that is a little cheaper. Sea freight can get surprisingly expensive when you look at all the packing/unpacking, delivery and port charges.
With those dimensions you'll be charged based on the volumetric weight.
Depending on how good a deal you can get you'll be charged the equivalent of around 50-60kg.
Can it be repackaged into something smaller?
Some carriers surcharge long items.
Quick online search came up with $500 minimum.
I bought a 4T 2 stage hydraulic jack on UK ebay. It would weigh around 8kg. Postage on it was around the $40 -50 mark.
Cant remember who it was sent with, but postage was reasonable I thought.
I have done this quite a few times int he past and the cheapest way is the Excess Baggage Shippers.
A quick check online shows this for shipping by sea with the first mob I looked at (https://www.sevenseasworldwide.com/ (https://www.sevenseasworldwide.com/)):

Thanks Bens....that looks more reasonable.
I'm just doing a bit of research for a guy i know that is manufacturing poly tanks as he he has interest from 3 or 4 people in the U.K.
He is only a small one man operation...making the tanks in he picture.
