Anyone care to offer advice on an off-road forklift?

Cept, hawk,'n spit, they are a JCB product, which marque my father fell out with 50 years ago.

Some family traditions need to be upheld one understands.

Well I fell out with my father over twenty years ago so I'm probably not best placed to view such traditions with much understanding.

A 3 wheeler perhaps?

1500kg/2000kg is planty for me, and I presume like a Moffet, the single rear wheel can turn near sideways?

We have one the wheel turns over 90 degrees so turns in its own space very good reach can take attachments like a telehandler but would need a new headstock bought pr made as comes with pallet toes fitted as standard

Miles nicer to drive than a moffet as well

 

Edit sorry ours is slightly different as it can mount on a lorry and has side shift built into the boom
