Walney-Reptiles Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Okay so this is a project i have wanted to-do for some time now, there's a bit of background as to why i want to star this project, Right back when i was a youngster, my dad made an RC Forklift Truck, i must of been about 3 it was Electric and had a 3 stage mast, Rack and pinion steering, it had lead as its Counter balance weight and it could Easy lift two breeze blocks 2ft in the air using motors and m6-all thread (I think it was M6) (He made this from scrap bits of metal from an old job he had back then) The sad part is he left it at the house we lived in all them years ago due to it being so heavy he has no photos of it as that would of helped me a bit although they may of been black and white Now that's the background over with this might sound strange asking for help when my dad made one many years ago, and believe me i have asked and asked him to help me build one, he always says no.... So i would like some help with designing the mast either chains or screw threads to do the lifting (I Cannot Afford Hydraulics) - im still looking for work and on the shameful job seekers... Any plans people know of or advice on motors etc (are all welcomed) (I will need as much help as i can get on this - im not really an expert engineer) (im a mechanic) Thanks to anyone who reads this and can offer some help (I know forklifts arnt everyones Cuppa Tea) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
