[QUOTE="flyerdan, post: 70880, member: 2510"] I made a set of extended forks a while back; I was looking for C channel or 2x6 RT, but being cheap was just searching the scrapyards and online ads. Found some 7' 4x8 I beams for real cheap and wound up using them. They also had a couple chunks of .250x9" flat bar for boxing in the bottom and extending the tips a foot. Total material cost was only $40, so I was happy to compromise on the thicker cross section. These were meant to handle bulkier items that would be difficult to manage otherwise, like moving sheds and lifting canopies and such. It's also a good platform for anchoring the tire changer to so it's not permanently in the way somewhere.
