Dude, if everyone took everything everyone said 100% seriously here, we'd all be retarded.

We had all different class/size/weight lifts for different things. Outdoor were liquid propane driven and the indoor were electric. (Propane forklifts indoors = carbon monoxide poisoning deaths galore)

That's a whole 'nother kettle of fish then. Just didn't want you getting trapped with no foreseeable way out.

I used to drive a Hyster 30/60(3000 lb & 6000 lb max respectively) about 6 years ago for my summer job.

The place I'm working at now has all Crown and Cat products.
SP 3470F is the one I work on occassionally for Cycle Count Verifications... the rest I don't use hardly at all except the occassional FC 4000. Basicly a 4k lb max lift.

I still hate the "Chariot" style forklifts, I have never gotten the hang of driving them with that joystick.

We didn't have the powered pallet jacks at the first place and they are all over the place at this one... they are kinda cool to watch zooming around the pick pack areas.

None of them compare to the behemoth we had at Nestles though... thing was easily 15 ft tall and 20 ft long. I only saw it used once when they were installing a new roaster.

120 or 1200 model of something then ;)
Smaller than the Behemoth at Nestles though... that thing was so out of place it isn't funny. Called up my friend who worked with me at Nestles. The thing was a Hyster H360.

our original was a clark, which did 12,000. the "green bomber" that spazz liked was a mitsubishi, and a rental that did 14 or 15,000. it's primary purpose was to load coils of steel, but if the coil line wasn't being used everyone and their brother drove it cause it was fast as hell.

i fucking hate forklifts.

Soooo seeing as I don't see you on AIM on the rare occassion that I am not at work or school.... are they getting rid of the old place or are they still gonna do the "keep it and let someone from the family or friend of the family pay the rent while they live there" plan?

The old place scares me, but I wouldn't mind renting it. The main thing that seals it for me is that its a good sized house and I could have my dog there with me. Hard to find an apartment or even a rent to own deal around this area that will let me take Meiko.

We're probably out within a week >_<

We originally had a closing at or around Nov. 8th, but it got moved up.

I didn't expect it to be so soon.
