Had its first outing today
did a few jobs on it first though re rodded two rams that was a bit pitted, made a couple of hoses that the outer rubber was cracked and brazed steel hydraulic pipe on one of the front legs
oh and had to rebuild the back of the trailer to except it

Yes I thought that
, but it still as a little bit of weight on the fifth wheel when empty, it only weighs 2.6 tonnes and it’s sat on a 10 ton axle
looks odd
but well within weight tolerance

I can't find any photos but they use to do a real mini one. It didn't have a seat or roll bar you just stood and drove it. 1 wheel drive the mast was about 4ft tall retracted and would just about lift the pallet clear of the truck bed. The mast was fixed and no tele forks. Just really long fixed forks. And could be fitted to a 7.5t lorry. Long since discontinued.

Mine has left the yard and lives on the farm project now. Got it well and truly stuck last week. Didn't mean to go there but slipped off the track and couldn't get back up so took a big run up and found a wet spot. My difflock wouldn't engage (it was below 0c) Tractor job to get it out.
Lovely little machine and earns it's keep. Nothing else will lift 2000kg and be so light on its feet.
I'd like one like @Mogman with 4 way steer and a boom.. but nothing local has ever come up. I spoke to that seller.. seems like a decent enough unit for the ££

Yes well pleased with mine
did a few little jobs on it like a hose with the outer rubber cracked but not leakingBut need to sort out my ’diff lock’ tried it with the front wheels in the air and they just spun and the rear didn’t
, I know where the valve is so will check for power when I get a moment l do seem to use it quite a bit around the yard the only thing is it’s 8’ wide but can turn in its own length

Extending forks are a very useful feature on mine. Not much I can't do with it apart from drive in 4ft gaps! Can unload both sides of a lorry from one side.Yes well pleased with mine

just found a pic of the second 7ft carriage (the one I bought it with) on it's stand ... drop the forks off, drop the carriage on the hooks, pull the chain pins and lift the mast - back away, go round the other side and drop the mast onto the other's carriage, re-connect the pins and lift - re-fit the forks ... the 8ft forks could be a two man job though, if the floor wasn't good ..... the 4 ft carriage and 4 ft forks cost me 500 quid ... worth every penny, back then
the eagle eyed amongst you might just make out the remnants of the decals on the side of the old girl .. JCB Special Products ... where it spent a good part of its life apparently

that's bigger than my 7 tonner used to be ... 's a beast of a truck .. looks to be a 5ft carriage too ... had two carriages for mine a 4ft and a 7 ft - 5 mins to swap 'em over, with some practise
should never have sold this old girl
