Thought this might be of interest to someone.
Picked up a set of forklift toes at the right price from local auction yard. They had 3 sets of varying sizes lying around for several months. Kept an eye on them and were not shifting. Made auction house a private sale offer. I took the smallest to keep weight down.
Frame is home made design. Wanted to keep ability to have horizontal slide adjustment, just like "proper" forklift. Also seemed to be best compromise between weight and strength.
These photographs were taken last week. Have since fully welded, cleaned and primed. Hope to have final coat on this weekend. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
