Not the heaviest I've ever seen, but it's a big'n.
It needs a very strong floor.
It needs a very strong floor.
My old Towmotor is now on loan with a friend.My other keeper is this late 1940s Towmotor.
The frame & counterweight are welded steel.
The counterweight is filled with lead.
These aren't rare, but they're uncommon.
I've only seen one other.
2 stage mast, no sideshift, hard tires, gasoline
Continental engine.
Mine is similar to this'n, but without the fancy paint.
(My tires are more manly.)
I've stopped collecting forklifts.
Too much stuff.
What should the manager have done to prevent that?
The Sum of Awe
Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
I'd hate to be the one to clean that up

My forklift has five fingers.
Possibilities....
- Bumpers at the posts.
- Independent racks.
- Heavy duty structural racks.
- Better forklift drivers.
- Better driver training.
- Require a spotter for every driver.

If you loved forklifts enough youI like forklifts. I just sold one, so I'm down to 3.
I plan to limit it to at most 2 hereafter.
My current favorite is my 5k# Cat.
Propane powered, sideshift, 3-stage mast, 4' forks, solid tires.
It looks similar to this'n...
would have a steam powered one.
Steam is inconvenient.
I like instant gratification.
Addition....
- A device to sense imminent prohibited contact to automatically brake the forklift.

Oh ah, oh oh...
@Revoltingest You will be happy to know I have a new love affair in the works, sorta related to this thread, with a fellow named Matt from a Youtube channel called Diesel Creek.
Believe it or not, I have sat through almost all his videos. I find the whole thing with machinery to be utterly fascinating and wonder now how I ever managed to ignore cold steel!
