Default Plans for a wooden forklift or pallet lifter/mover? (JT?)

Once you get that forklift, you'll be amazed at how handy it can be. With a
platform it is good for high work if it is double or triple mast. .

Every place I can recall working at had welded up a pair of pockets for
the forks and a boom with a hook on the far end for a chain lift.

Also (OSHA UN-approved) putting walls around a pallet makes for a decent
work platform. If you make the walls 3' tall and provide a way t clamp
to the forks and to attach a fall harness, you might even slide in under
the OSHA radar.
