[QUOTE="flyerdan, post: 53758, member: 2510"] Keep in mind while contemplating a project like this that a forklift has the mass and wheelbase to keep it pretty steady in the lateral axis. With a high lift like you're discussing you'll have some impressive moment arms acting on the machine. Even 600 pounds at ten feet has a potential of 6000 pounds, and I know with the bucket off my 700 I could almost push it over backwards by myself. [/QUOTE]
