3 point Forklift with a mast to go 17 feet high

Found a video of a similar unit. It goes 6.6 feet high, mine will go 11 feet, which I think is much more useful. Understood a little tractor can't drive around with weight on it.

OK, working on this project today. I stripped the Crown 20MT forklift, but it was still way heavier than my FEL is capable of lifting, so how to get it off the trailer? It has wheels (for smooth concrete).

I decided to roll it towards the back of the trailer. The trailer was a little tongue-high and parked on a grade, and when I turned the forklift towards the rear, it got away. And then of course the trailer tipped up and the Crown 20MT walkie walked itself right off the trailer. I guess all's well that ends well, I tipped it back up with the tractor.

Looks real good, never mind what I said previously as I did not catch the part about the stabilizers. That should work great.

Funny the same time you were posting I was eating lunch and posting a new thread about the project.

Yep, nothing better than a self unloading trailer,
