I thought I would share some photos of our 1960's vintage Hyster H400A and what I use it to move. It has a 4-71 Detroit diesel coupled to a 3 speed Allison automatic. Tires are 28 ply and it has forks that are 12" wide and 4" thick. The machine weighs about 65,000 lbs.
The steel ring on the right is an example of what I use it to move. The ring weighs exactly 40,000 lbs, but the load center is more than 36 inches, so I added the 4,000 lb block on the back. I originally thought it might affect the steering, but you don't even know the additional weight is back there.
Any one else have some large forklifts?
