    DIY forklift with a 500lbs lift capacity

    I needed a way to load and unload scraps from my trucks.
    I was looking at forks lifts and said it would be nice to find a small forklift.
    Forklifts are very expensive so I build one out of scrap and a lawn tractor.
    I tested it with 6 150lbs server that is 900LBS and it WORKS
    I will only lift 500lbs and less with the forklift
    You can see the forklift on firstontop com click on the VW bug and go to the bottom of the page.
    I put video on youtube just type in diy forklift in the search field.
