My little logistic center

[Rvjimd]

Very Cool!

I bet it is tough backing a long trailer in those narrow loading bays?

I'm glad you enjoy it Mario . It's really fun to be able to do some trucking indoors, I honestly sometimes go through 2 fully charged 6500mah batteries just moving cargo around and trying to parallel park trucks and stuff.

Hello Guys, well Business has been great here at Prestige Worldwide Logistics and Excavating. We had to get some shipping containers to ship some big things, took me a few days to get them painted and then spent the last 18 hrs putting custom logos, indivially cut letters for serial numbers and capacity specs. I'm real happy with the way they turned out.






The big boss was real pleased with numbers of this quarter so he went and got him self a fancy sports car, he even had custom calipers and leather stitching to match his work shirt.



He even approved a few paid vacation days for the hard working guys, so they're all heading to the beach.. Look at the joy on their faces.



Thanks for looking.

You're missing the "Logistics" side of the business Joe, not all of us rely on digging dirt for income .

[MoRockN]

Sooo, Containers, Yep, well I just can't get enough of them. After a very very long time searching the net and the evil bay, I scored, the hard sided container that I've been wanting is now mine, all mine, all Five Brand new ones and the one used one. I paid a lot of money for them but I just had to have them.


More photos of them on the lot will follow as soon as I calm down

Nice job with the containers. So is there a reach stacker or straddle carrier in the works?

Thank you! I have plans for a carrier in the future. But that can be done since parts and materials are available, containers however .. I've been watching some videos and people are using just wood panels to make containers and they paint hem up, sticker the doors and the sides with corrugated looks, they look awful if you ask me, that's I got the Bruder kinds.

Thank you sir! still working on it, needs lots of details still, but its a place to unwind after a long day's work, to do more work....

The work load is getting heavy around the two loading bays so we needed more help. The boss went on the hunt for more machines to ease off some of the stress of having only one forklift, and success it was..


These are probably the best forklifts ever made. I got two more machines, paid a premium for them but that's what happens when all the guys in Germany want them. Anywho, one was brand new build but the steering links broke during shipping from Germany , the other is brand new in the box still. So I decided to take the new built one apart and redo it my way , new paint job since they come unpainted in orange plastic. I also wanted to give you guys a little build thread on these machines or more of what's inside, added longer forks that I had stashed and the load support bars. So Here we go:










This is an aftermarket steering setup I had since I got my first forklift but never put it on, I have 3 sets so I will upgrade all the machines









This is Loyd, nice guy, a little hard headed but a nice guy, glad to have him on board





And some new paver shipment has arrived and needs to be unloaded . Until next time fellas.

Nice colour

Did you make the bricks ? Great looking trailer load! The new forklift turned out great. I love the wheels and they look perfect with the body colour.
Can't wait to see more pics and maybe vids of these at work perhaps?

Thanks Mario! I will post a video once I get everything in place. Still got to add more details. The bricks were purchased that way from Fechtner Modellbau . Tons of them broke in shipping though.

[ddc333]

So how do these forklifts compare to the ones Carson sells ??

[MoRockN]

Night and day. Those are still good but cheaply made. These guys are way stronger and can lift heavy stuff. You get what you pay for.

[MoRockN]

By the way the Carson one is the only one left in production beside the cheap $25 ones you from eBay. These Robbe ones have been discontinued .

Very cool layout. Looks like a fun center.

Thank you Sir! Keep an eye on this thread guys, got a few more things coming and the third NIB Robbe forklift is going under the knife... or should I say the paint nozzle

[4X44DAD]

Wow that is awesome
