That, back there was what you call a fork lift!

I'm looking for some kind of belt sander, just not that big. Don't have the room. Be carefull. A friend has one where the belt broke and slapped him good.

Yes, tried it out today
Definitely need a face shield
Goggles were not enough

Forklift is a Clark ranger 6000lb capacity
Fwd or rwd or 4wd
Articulated and does fine on lawn and in woods

Got the ram/crane truck and cj5 undercoated today
Fluid film was a bit thick at 60 deg, warmed up to 90-100 to be able to pour in spray containers
1 gallon gave good coverage for all 3 vehicles (2/3 went on crane)

Not articulated. Not that I can see. Never seen such a thing except wheel loaders being used as a fork lift. Kind of not the ideal machine anyway given their instability when crooked.

I am probably using the wrong terminology. Rear wheels/axle steers and entire center section rotates around at central portion so for wheels are always in contact with the ground

Four tires are always in touching the ground as the entire machine pivots around the center of the machine



Articulation spec

It's like my articulated loader. Hardly leaves a mark anytime of year.

There were some rather reasonable rust studies that were done by several people on the inter-web. It may have been in garage journal?

For a lubricant I prefer boshield
For an undercoating on a vehicle and rust prevention, fluid film seems to have one of the best overall protective abilities. (Of course it Has to be resprayed from time to time. (yearly For me in New England salt))
I will try googling them for you later
