EL Cheapo Adjustable Forklift

[FAZTRAC]

Here are some photos of inexpensive but very useful adjustable forklift built for my 425 last spring. Finally painted it this summer ! Parts came from old utility carrier cut up for back rest and quick attach bracket foundation. Bought the forks and upper and lower supports out of Memphis. Very handy to have adjustment for W-I-D-E loads.

Yea, pretty neat! A lot of the 3 point attachments lying around my house have acquired Quick plates. Looks like you have done a good job. I can't tell in detail about you support design but keep an eye on the top vertical welds and potential of cracking around those welds. When I build something and before I am completely done I ask myself. If this thing was to fail. Where will it fail or where will it break. What is the holes in the frame for or is that just the metal you used?

And another thing I’ll bet the only reason you call it El cheapO is because you already had the Forks. LOL
