Fork lift guard

[Charles scozzari]

Hi, finished this up Monday thought it might be of some interest to Hi/Lo owners and others. I used 11ga. I"x 2" rectangular for the frame and added hook points for securing loads. I posted some before and after shots. Thanks for looking.

First I would like to thank all the members who gave me a "LIKE" so very much.The stuff I do can never match most of you guys do, so Thank You. As for removing a safety guard from a 10k fork lift, it makes no sense what so ever. Safety is absolutely first. Thank's again.

Bad enough there's talk of removing the guard, your handling round stock (rolling), hope you come to a safe conclusion and everyones safe.

Thank's, I bought the fork lift for $1600.00 about 2 years ago and love it. It has a 4cyl. gasoline motor and runs great. I believe it has been on its side because of some of the canopy is not as it should be. The cover is for a golf cart and is ok. It kills me that it has to stay outside, but I have no choice. Thank you for the "LIKE".

Good deal for $1600! We had TCM lift trucks at a place I worked at years ago.. pretty much bullet proof.
Cheers

Hi, I was looking for one but wanted a gas powered fork lift. It seems that they are not nearly as popular as propane hi/lo's. I know the propane units are for indoor use, but that did not matter since I use it outside. Propane tanks for the hi/lo's are expensive to refill and can become a problem finding a supplier. The thing that has become somewhat of a problem is I don't know what year this fork lift is. I am guessing somewhere around the 1980's maybe early 90s. I also wasn't ready for the cost of tires and pressing them on. It needs the front drive tires but I replaced the steering rear tire's. I wasn't aware that when I bought it new tires would run $1.000.00 dollars. it was still something I wanted/needed so I moved on it. Like I mentioned I feel it was on it's side. Thanks for your reply. Happy Fathers Day.
