GovPlanet purchase in 2021 from MCLB Albany, GA.



Veteran Appreciation Day (11/16/2024) in front of the ROTC building at Auburn University.

We purchased this all Terrain Forklift in Dec. 2012. 8.8 ton piece of steel was build in 1987. Equipped with a Deutz 6 in line direct injected aircooled diesel.
Pics show the day of delivery.

You have to bolt on the carried equipment used as a front bumper (by hand) and you have to lay the mast ( by hydraulic) between the 2 !! seats/cabins. And yes.... it´s an adventure to drive the streets with the other cars and trucks with your rear axel steering and without suspension at over 32+ miles/h

Later, after going thru the TM´s we try to complete the equipment. We start with the dozerblade, the cranehook assy and the spare with crane.

regarding no suspension..I guess that for forking, it makes sense as you want it to be the same front height/ride no matter whether its empty or lumping a extra-big full container knowing that its likely certain people get quite used to 'their' tractor to the point that eventually they could pick up a big box and stuff it into the middle shelf of a warehouse aisle in a quite rapid nonstop motion without ever 'noticing' that they barely had half an inch clearance .. or mm yeah you know where "can do it in my sleep" more literally comes from

 

[Migginsbros]

Yes, thats right. Allmost all forklifts had no suspension. Exept the FLU /Unimog HMMH has suspension but they have a supensionlock funktion for forklifting.

 

[Guyfang]

Hey! I rode in that vehicle!!

Crane hook in action.

 

[Migginsbros]

A cold one.....

 

[Migginsbros]

Since we own this Steinbock forklift we can´t imagine our world without this versatile piece of steel.
