Its kind of both.

popped up on local marketplace, supposedly (and shockingly

) its a little bit slow as a forklift.

And in case someone is interested- its only $18,500

A “Forkevator” or an “Excalift” or a complete waste of an excavator and a forklift and time…

Not gonna lie. I can think of about 100 projects for that right now. Actually kind of giving me an idea for some junk I have accumulated over the years

working between those houses that are close enough to roof run the whole development without touching the ground, where your neighbor borrows a cup of sugar with a basket on a pool cue. Where fires just go and go.

I used to work out of my back yard and got my rubber tire fork lift stuck all the time when it rained. Even though it has big knobby tires. This thing would not have got stuck back there at all.

I have adapted forklift mast's for 3-point on a tractor.
Done 4 of them, and learned something each time.

This looks like the same sort of adaption, however the mast needs to go down much lower to the ground.

You can't hide money!!!!!LOL

Now that's all all-terrain forklift!

Welder Dave · Jun 7, 2022

The mast looks too big for the size of the carrier. Probably being sold because it has almost no lift capacity. That said, here's another one. I would assume you can turn the forks 360 deg's. which would come in handy in tight quarters.

Well this little contraption would be handy for a DIY'er or contractor that needs two or three machines but only a budget for one.

Those are interesting to say the least. Have worked on one of them and shut the whole machine down because a rear camera got ripped off and their wiring harnesses are not very serviceable how they are routed.

Built by Ronco/Popeil.-----remember the Popeil Pocket Fisherman?

There's a guy out here that has a forklift bobcat, whole mast and carriage grafted to a bobtach plate, saw it this morning going down the freeway and reminded me about this lol

Welder Dave · Jun 7, 2022

Bobcat made an M610 forklift with extra counterweight and a trailing wheel at the back. A dealer here who sold Bobcat from 1967 till 1983 had/has one.

Wouldn't be my first choice.
I have limited need, but make do nicely with a set of over the bucket forks on the loader of my TLB.
