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. Icon_lol

Remember - I've left the Normal scale and the Horribly Oversized scale to join the dark side of the Grossley oversized scale Big Grin Big Grin

The next step would be the even more "oversized scale" of 1 : 1 Wink Wink

I'll stick with Horribly Oversized .......I like not having to pay "Property Taxes" on my layout Wink Icon_lol Icon_lol Icon_lol Icon_lol Icon_lol
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
