    Unless you roll a car completely on the roof, you will not spill any oil period. Only roll on its side and your fine. In fact you do it right, get a drill and drill a hole in the pans while on the side to drain them. Then ya good to go. And even rolling completely on roof will highly probale nopt leak much if any oil. I had a car that was a rollover many years ago, totaled. Bastard was still full on oil, no apperant leaks anywhere. All I had to do was pull the plugs and crank it voer to blow the oil out of the cylinders. And she fired right up. So if your dumping oil, you aint doing something right....

    Try to stick with local brands
    Watch and ask for forklift parts support—some of the older models are hard to find parts for. Also Chinese models have really lousy parts support.

    I would not recommend using the forklift to lift up the car and then standing under the car and removing catalytic converter. Try to get a racking set up or something where the car is secure. I’ve seen forklifts lose their loads.

    For forklift parts check out store.intellaliftparts.com
