This is the biggest forklift I have ever seen. It's coming up at a consignment sale this Sat.

Brendan, you need to get yourself out to a dockyard to see forklifts!!!

I agree, those two toys are nothing compared to the ones that set the truck trailers on the rail cars.

And why would you need a forklift that big?

So you can do this...

Short story about BIG forklifts.I worked at the Waste Isolation Pilot plant from sinking the shafts to cutting the storage rooms for the nuclear waste storage. The Gov. bought a really big forklift to raise the waste containers off of the transports and put them on the machine that was to insert the containers into the holes bored into the salt. It was shipped underground. As soon as it was driven off of the conveyance, I told the delegation on hand to view the historic event that the machine would not work as intended. It was promptly explained to me that it was rated for X amount of tons and it would have no problem lifting the containers. I told them that there was less than a foot of clearance between the top of the mast and the roof and that the forks had to come up about four feet to place the containers. They still could not see the problem.

If that's not big enough, put some forks on an L2350 Letourneau loader. 263,702 lbs. breakout force!
