[QUOTE="haymaker, post: 132159, member: 22924"] When I lifted 30 foot trusses with my 743 I used an 8 foot boom on the end of my forks. All I was trying to do was get them 10 feet high. It worked but I lifted them straight up. My helper was on a scaffold, he pivoted them and steadied them in place while we attached them to the building. I did not try to move while it was in the air. I was sitting on concrete, which helped. It was still pretty iffy. If I had to do it over I would use a bigger machine. If I had to go higher or had more than a dozen I would rent a lift designed for the job. [/QUOTE]
