goddamnmotherfuckingpieceofshitforklift lift truck isn't working properly, droops under a load, won't hold a seven ton load. We're dead-in-the-water again. Except the shop is tore apart and there is a machining center sitting outside...

Oh well, at least it's dry out today.

Guess we'll work on sharpening tomorrow

Well, crap. Sorry to hear about such a frustrating condition. Glad it isn’t raining. Is a different forklift the solution?

Take your time and be safe! Mike

Holy shit! It's times like that when I used to wish for something bigger than a .75 caliber. Understandably, I have NOT given you a "Like" and can't even imagine giving you a smiley face, so:eek::mad::poop:.....

Life ain't always a box of chocolates, but I DID happen to get my own very special version of such a box today, so while I moarn your loss, I'll celebrate my own three, if ya know what I mean!:D:D:D

That sucks!

Is it bad hydraulics or underrated for the load?

It's in range. I have lifted these loads with this type of unit several times. I think there's just something wrong with this lift. The one they sent us looks clapped-out and I think there's an internal seal leaking. Never had this much trouble getting a machine onto the floor before...
