The 2520 has landed...

Congrats on the purchase. The machine looks beautiful. I know there were some tough decisions, but it looks like it all came out perfectly.

I also ordered pallet forks with mine (which hasn't arrived yet) and am already thinking of a MILLION uses for them.

Have fun and be safe.

Nice looking setup. Wonder what the whole thing weighs? Curious, because it looks like it was delivered on a 1/2 ton pickup.

BTDT the 2520 came in a boxed truck ( check the first photo) without ramps, and since i had no loading dock I had a friend with truck come to get it off the box truck. It went from box truck to pick up to the ground.

I would say 4000lbs give or take a few hundred. The ramps that my friend had were rated for 1700lbs a piece , during drive down it bowed the ramps a bit.

At this time the beast is great and hit the 8 hour mark

Runner which pallet forks did you purchase? The Bradco ones are amazing, they seem very strong and I can't see anything going wrong with them.

Either way I agree you will find millions of uses

I ordered the Frontier fixed rail forks like Chris2520 has. From your pictures, they look to be very similar in design. I liked the design because it looks like the forks are easy to adjust and to remove. I intend to use the pallet fork frame as a base for some other home-made attachments, such as a carrier for a 2 inch receiver hitch mount.

Still anxiously awaiting the arrival of my 2520.
