OT: Need help - Standard forklift dimensions
I am building a little pallet to put my 253lb Advance Products Rotary Slide Table on. I'd like to make the thing wide enough for a standard forklift to get under. I'm thinking the little hand-truck type forklifts (pallet jack). Don't currently have one. I see that many are offered in 21 or 27 inch widths. Will the pallet be usable in most shop environments, and possibly in shipping, if I use a 21" spacing?
My design is (roughly) to use 4"x4" material, (about 2 feet long), and use carriage bolts to connect two 2x6" pieces of wood, about 30 inches long, on top of the 4x4s. How much space should I leave between the 4x4s?
Thanks in advance.
