Large Tea tray

(1/3) > >>

Spurry:
This seems to be the place for mad projects, so here's my offering.

Being tired of scrabbling about on the floor to service my mower, I thought I would make a tray to enable it to be lifted to a reasonable working height, on my two-post car lift .

The penny then dropped;  access would be somewhat limited by the four supporting arms of the lift. As the tray is so heavy it would need placing by machine anyway, so why not leave it on the machine forks?

Pic 1 Shows the tray.
Pic 2 Lifted.
Pic 3 The whole story.

Just need to devise a method of securing the mower to the forks to prevent it falling off.  :bugeye:

Nice  :thumbup:

What's the all terrain fork lift, is it also a telehandler and what's it's lifting capacity - looks very useful ?

It's an Avant 745. It will lift a bulk bag easily when the arm is extended. It does have one additional weight of the rear, + two side weights. The best things are the attachments though. There is one for almost everything. I did start off with the smaller versions that were 'supposed' to lift a ton bag, but kept p/xing them until I got to this fourth one. It's great for moving trees especially. This a pic of another mad project, my Man Cage. (Biggest problem with that is, if I'm in it, my wife has to drive. :) )

As far as I'm concerned it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
PS I'm not on commission. :thumbup:

John Rudd:
Looks like you got a nice 'flying patch' there Pete...

Nice looking workshop too...

Spurry:
Thanks John. That was the reason for moving here in the first place. Don't ask how many flights I've had since the move....
The working workshop is in another building, but that's a whole new level of complication. :)
