They also use those at independent sawmills in Eastern Ky and W.Va to move logs to the saw log table(holds the logs) and to unload log trucks..They take the forks and simply push the logs off the truck.The pulpwood yard uses those as well.
Then they load lumber with those lifts too. That's probably more then you wanted to know.

The next step would be the even more "oversized scale" of 1 : 1
I'll stick with Horribly Oversized .......I like not having to pay "Property Taxes" on my layout
