Default Foorklist questions: tires and side shift

Iggi, I can't tell if there even is a cylinder on this sideshifter.
Looks like its missing. If there is one on there then find some
hoses and hook them up and see what happens. If the truck drives
kinda smooth then I would run those tires. They look chunky.


The ride (even on smooth floor) is kind of bumpy due to chunky tires.

A lot bigger issue with this lift will be what kind of loads you will
be lifting with this thing. The heels of the forks look worn badly,
probably due to worn lift chains and or worn tires. They look like
they have been dragging on the floor for a while. That will seriously
decrease the lifts lifting capacity


What do you mean by heels of the forks? I am sorry. Do you mean where
the bottom of forks touches the forklift?

I am kinda hoping that I can move 5,000 lbs with it.
