Ok, just a quick little poll here. I am curious as to how many people here have used a forklift. I just recently started using them at work and I am getting fairly good at it, but I am not a pro yet.

Worked a a loading dock long time back & an old timer there taught me the trick.

I started out with the old stand up gas fork lifts at a flour mill,then went to loading 18 foot aluminum boats at smokercraft boats,sounds easy not so!,had to stack them vertcal in a warehouse a real tricky deal ,had tilt the forks lift and then tilt back all at the same time.A guy had to be at the bottom to stabilize the back of the boat,his life was in my hands,lucky to have seniority LOL.

one of my neighbors has forks he puts on his JD FEL. Now thats handy. I've been searching the scrapyard for forks for the Wheelhorse loader.
