We also had a 10,000 pound lift but it was down a lot so when we had steel coils come in we had to unload them somehow. Ever ride a forklift when only 2 wheels are on the ground? Talk about a wild ride...lol!

You shouldn't be saying things like that WhyYou. You'll have the health and safety people after you lol. I'm saying that i'm just as guilty lol. I used to do similar things like the carrying three packs of timber instead of two on two tyres . Hysters were best for that. All in the balance and skill of a great driver lol.
