Now seeing it in a bigger forklift is definately harder....

We were using a 5000lb Cat.....LPG powered unit....

We have another one but it is does not have flat bottomed forkblades and is way tougher to drive...and much bigger at about 10,000lbs....

The one in the clip is a very big diesel.....and the drivers seat is a lot further away....The dude is good.....
Rich,you have waaaaaaaay too much time on your hands,either that or people aren't getting their generators back any time soon.
