Thanks, all, for your input. I think I'm going to try building
something like the drawing posted to abpw.


Morris, one other note -- occasionally you can find forklift mast
assemblies at near giveaway prices. I found one for the grand sum of
$25 for the trouble of them loading it on the truck. Double-mast,
10k-lb w/ hydraulics but w/o the forks. I used it to build a freight
elevator to the barn loft.

If you can afford to watch and wait, such an item could be the basis for
the lift and you could deal w/ the pallet mover separately.
