<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 335799, member: 54"]Unloaded a whole semi today with smaller forklift. Only thing unexpected that happened was the rear wheels kept coming off the floor with one heavy load. Load stated weight was 5500 lbs and that forklift is good for 6k lbs so I hadn’t expected any problem, but that 6k lbs has to be centered at only 24” “out” on forks. The load was longer than I expected so the load center was probably 40” out, no wonder wheels came up. Good thing I’m not the easily-excitable type or I might have gotten excited rolling along with a large load and no steering control part of the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
