Talk:Forklift truck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
great image, but it needs to be referenced :) Kingturtle 03:43 31 May 2003 (UTC)
- It's also not especially typical of standard forklifts as it appears to be a type known as a reach truck. They use a scissor mechanism to extend the backrest from the mast allowing manouevering in tight spaces. Notice how in the top pic, the forks couldn't be moved all the way into the pallet without hitting the diesel tank and wheels unless the forks are extended?Gest 10:33, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I drive a forklift at my job, and I have a digital camera. Such possibilities! I can provide pictures of a regular-style forklift, optionally with a barrel attachment or a carpet ram attached.
Drop me a line on my talk page if you want pictures. Dbenbenn 19:12, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Pallets
It seems to me that the article needs to refer to pallets somewhere, but I wasn't sure where it should. -- Dominus 15:08, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I wasn't really sure how to smoothly work it into the existing article, either. So I added it as a related link for now. Figure that's better than no mention at all. :) -- Zawersh 18:35, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I would like to link to a buyer's guide my company put out about how to purchase forklifts. It's non-vendor specific and serves as an education tool for people in the market for a forklift. Can I post the link as long as I don't promote the business in the initial link? Please let me know. Thank you. -- 23:29, 22 Jul 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Major additions
I just made some major changes - as usual please spell/grammar check. UrbanTerrorist 23:25, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Note that the 300 manufacturer database is real - I'm the person who's supplying it to the ITA. UrbanTerrorist 23:35, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Worldwide Sales
It's really just 2 major players with a lot of other large companies competing. I work for J.H. Ryder - HQ in Mississauga, Ontario. They're one of the largest dealers in North America. www.jhryder.com
