Storing Bobcat Attachments on Shelves?

[radman1]

Those high racks are going to require a forklift to reach the top. Do you have one?

I have a lot of uses for a forklift but don't have one yet. I would plan to use the higher reaches of my new racks for long term storage, not things I would need to bring down very often. For example I have a stack of lumber down at the other end of the garage about this same footprint that I would like to get off the floor and I might put the long lumber pieces up on top of the new pallet racks.

A friend of mine modified a 3 pt forklift for the front of his skid steer by adding a skid steer attachment plate. He uses it for lifting light loads at construction sites and on his pallet racks. You could consider that for your toolcat.

Do you simply mean fork lift "forks" attaching to the ToolCat's BobTatch (skidsteer) attachment plate or something different? I have the Bobcat "forklift" attachment, which doesn't go up and down like a forklift, it's just two sideways adjustable forks that travel with the ToolCat's front arm. The problem with this is that the forklift's maximum height is only about six and a half feet above the floor, which is too low for a lot of my needs.

No, it was more like a true fork lift but his were designed for 3pt tractor. When finished it looked something like this -

Or you could buy something like the above picture. His would lift near 16-20' including the lift of the boom.

Interesting. I like the idea of the outrigger tires that would help stabilize the high load side to side. Another photo of the same load up high:

That is a cool idea for people who need real height and good stability.

I put these pallet rack shelves in last week. I had thought about them for awhile and had had the stuff on small dollies. The dollies worked fine but i was running out of floor space.
I got these racks locally from a material handling place. They are technically "used" but I think they were purchased but not put up. The uprights are 10' high and 42" deep. The beams are tear-drop style and 96". The wire rack shelves were new. I got 'em all for $625 tax included.
For reference, the bucket is 68", plow blade 90", sprayer 60 gallons, aerator 72".
The second shelf is 72" off the ground and the 5610 worked fine for that height.
