[Wombii]

A huge terminal forklift looks like so much fun to play with! Especially one as nice as this. I think the cab is about the right size compared to the wheel size, but on those I've seen the cab is mounted a bit further back, behind the front wheels instead of over them. That difference might give the illusion of a longer wheelbase and smaller cab, maybe?

You're spot on Wombii. I'll do a few more fitting today, to see where it goes. Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

I had to make a static load test, 6 kilos 2 inch in front of drive axle center. that gives zero kilos on the steer axle, with no counterweight on the rear part.

And placed the cab further back looks like a splendid idea Wombii. Sometimes you get lost in your own thinking......... I pulled my brain together this morning and went for it.

By the way, I wanna lift 12.66 Kilos when all is done........should be 35 metric ton.

Oh! well carry on with next step.......

Just to get the feel for 10 degrees back tilt on the lift mast. And a hood.
