Erik Leppen Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) I'm wondering... people are thinking single tires at the front are unrealistic, but isn't it more realistic if the truck is the same width as the pellet? That would seem realistic to me, thinking about how forklifts may be used. Similar how front loaders are not wider than their bucket. With double wheels, the truck would have become wider than the pellet. Edited July 25, 2018 by Erik Leppen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agrof Posted July 26, 2018 8 hours ago, Magical Duck said: The lifting height, looking at it now is not too unrealistic: I edited the picture comparison, so the problem is visible: while the lifting height might be realistic for special purposes, at the maximum the fork unit reaches always the top of the mast. In case of 42079, we have a noticable pole above. Limited lifting height has it's reasons, like low ceiling, low gate entering, etc... so having unused mast above is just a barrier for this purpose. Nonetheless, still my favorite set from this batch, deserves the modification. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With double wheels, the truck would have become wider than the pellet. The double wheeled versions usually carry containers (I guess), which are much wider than this pallet.

When looking this image good question is how to make front more narrow to fit another pair of wheels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
