Yes Pete today I worked out a scheme similar to that but using the pallet truck rather than the fork lift as the fork lift is not at all easy to manoeuvre in a tight space and certainly won't manage the required 90 degree turn in the foundry. It's remarkably easy to get yourself too close to a wall to actually be able to extricate yourself due to the odd geometry of the rear wheel steering! |

I should have guessed you would have thought of that. :thumbup: My machine bends in the middle so am familiar with getting into situations that it is difficult to extricate oneself from. 90 deg bends are not usually a problem IF there is enough room to get the forks out before having to apply steering.

Worked well for me for many years, but I was gifted some long pipes with the kit when I bought it!

No problem Andrew, but I did wonder how you did that! Phil. |

I use a wool wide roller with very little paint a brush in the other hand to touch up holidays, extremely fast! Cheers, Matthew |
