<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 335513, member: 54&quot;]Nuthin’ very special here, took the pic for interested friend then thought others might want to see.&nbsp; Our “new” (not!) Cat Forklift has 6’ forks, longer than those on our other machines, and you can pick up two average-sized pallets at once.&nbsp; We bought it used because it will lift 5 tons and sometimes we need that capability.&nbsp; It was a pure gamble, came with no guarantee and return shipping would be prohibitive anyway.&nbsp; But fortunately all we had to do was buy a plain car battery to get it running, and all seems to work fine but the emergency brake, a common problem on older forklifts.&nbsp; We’ll just make wheel chocks and take them whenever we take it outside, because repairing that brake is another “prohibitively expensive” job.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The one thing I need to add to this vehicle is either cctv or some articulated fisheye mirrors because driver visibility both ahead and behind is very poor.&nbsp; I can’t see the ends of the forks or the load half the time because the mast is in the way, and can never see behind because the propane tank is in the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]112395[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
