Default six foot class III forks

"The Kid" has had his 10K lb. Matsuura CNC mill sitting on my trailer
two weeks now looking for forks for his truck. He needs six foot long
class III forks. They are $1500 new with a long special order delivery
time.

Long shot, but any chance somebody has a line on used ones?

Have you tried their online editor? They have an orientation button
to rotate pics. Or flip in offline and reupload. My guess is that
you ended up on an Aussie server.

If this is a one-time job, why not just rent a suitable lift truck
from Hertz or similar equipment rental outfit? The one-day
rental will only be a couple hundred $.

I think you haven't tried to rent a 10,000 lb. lift forktruck. Plus
you need a way to haul it.

"The Kid" closed his eyes and popped for a set of 15,000 lb. rated
forks that were at a local vendor. he won't tell me what he paid, but
he's not happy.

I told him he'll keep those forks the rest of his life, it will work
out. Still, he only paid $3K for the truck.

We rented a 6000lb 4-wheel-steer lift for moving a CNC truss-cutter into
the shop for repairs.

Don't forget delivery and pickup. The bill came to about $450 for one
day's rental plus the carriage.
