Lifting Capacity of H25
I'm going out this evening to look at a little Hough H25. I'm primarily interested in using it as a forklift. How much can I expect this machine to lift safely in that configuration. Some of the pallets that I handle weigh as much as 3,000 pounds.
Additionally, the machine is equipped only with a bucket at this point. How hard is it to find a set of forks that might work on this machine. I need dedicated forks, not the ones that clamp over the bucket.
My other thought is to take the forks and associated brackets off our existing forklift and modify them to attach to the payloader. Has anybody tried this and does it sound safe and worth doing?
Thanks,
Frank
