Popular Post MACKTRUCKS4 Posted March 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm doing a demo job inside a plant where they make steel power poles. They use these forklifts to move and load the poles. They said they will just pick up the mini and set it on the second floor. 19,000 sq. ft of concrete, 5" thick supported by 14" I beams every 7'. Nice indoor job while waiting for the snow to melt. 3 Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.

other dog Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 We have a big red Taylor fork lift at the shop- And this one too. It will lift about as much as the Taylor, but it doesn't have any brakes- however, it does have a screamin' Detroit. 1958FWD would love it! And here's a big yellow Taylor I saw in Chicago- 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Mike Blais Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 With the hard rubber tires it would need chains. It doesn't even like hard packed dirt. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49239-big-ass-forklift/#findComment-367542 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Blais Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 She's a 1948 Towmotor LT-35. 1500# cap., 108" lift height. 62 c.i.d. flathead Continental runs on LP. Takes up a 3' x 5' space on the floor, not counting the forks. Obviously not for heavy duty use. I use it as a portable work bench sometimes or as another set of hands. Occasionally I use it as it was intended. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49239-big-ass-forklift/#findComment-367566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 they had a big one where I unloaded in New Mexico, but they didn't use it. They unloaded one beam at a time with a little fork lift. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
