Dd, yeah i'm still amazed he managed to cram everything in that Piggyback fork!

One of the Happy People UPS Junghenrich one, it's a great cheap model and tough too!

My Yale hasn't had much love other than some grime-wash weathering, mostly wheels, forks, and floorboard. Forktrucks just tend to get fairly gross over time.

Nrs, ok awesome! Glad to hear these are pretty tough models. By the time one makes it Across the Pond, i don't know about it being a "cheap" option anymore. I have more in shipping than the model cost. (it's about the same money as getting my Iveco Daily over here.)

I was kinda suprised to see the Jungs lift motor pulls a rubber thing, that spins a pulley-gear, that lifts the rack

I haven't run across any Hobby-Guts conversions on the Jungheinrichs yet, but there are some builds of very similar looking 3d printed ones on one of the german boards. I do kinda like that it's on 3 alkaline so there's not much setup time before playing

AMEN! Preach it! I had a feller visiting a while back that had seen the RC construction videos. I handed him the remote, & he enjoyed the experience. 2 weeks later he showed pictures & video of his newly acquired RC construction equipment!

Good to see you're still around Skeeter!

Not much new with the forklifts over here. I need to palletize some more things and make more racks.
