The doing it doesnt take near as long as doing all the other #### you still gotta do every day to keep things running smooth, and then all the things that pop up that you werent figuring youd have had to be getting elbow deep in while you are trying to re do your whole truck; both time and money wisePoleCrusher, cke, God prefers Diesels and 6 others Thank this. -
Old forklift from one yard to another for sister companies.
As loaded 15’10” tall.After some light beating on the pins, we unpinned the mast and laid it forward. Got the height to 12’6” by the time the machine was over crossmembers. Didn’t need anymore holes in the deck.
causality of war, still cheaper then a permit and pole car. This is the main lift hose at the base of the mast. It was fine when I left but on my first load check I discovered it.
Then I got to do it all over again because I was 79k gross and 36k on my trailer. Thankfully the machine ran great for a 30+ year old lift.
sure was a lot of work to preload it for someone else and drive 180 miles back to the yard. First time doing something like this so I guess it was worth it.Nostalgic, beastr123, PoleCrusher and 9 others Thank this. -
Never knew those forklifts were so heavy, that's crazy.PoleCrusher, cke, God prefers Diesels and 2 others Thank this. -
As for tilting the mast this only works when the forks are on the big tube at the top. Lucky that’s how most big lifts are. I ran the lift to the back and set the forks down on the back deck. Two chains over the forks, one half way down and one right in the heal of the forks pulling towards the lift. Now you can run the mast all the way down, this should put some slack in the chains. Unpin the tilt cylinders, it helps if you have someone to run the hydraulics as you’re tapping the pins with a hammer. Once unpinned just back up slowly and the mast will lat forward. Watch the hoses at the bottom for tension, it seems most of these bigger lifts are made to do this for transport.
I guess you do the opposite at the other end, that’s someone else’s problem on this load.
Here’s another picture for a bit more clarity.black_dog106, Elroythekid, Nostalgic and 12 others Thank this. -
