gherkin Posted January 24, 2012 Evening guys Quick question. Can't seem to find an answer at the moment, but was basically wondering if TLG have produced a Fork Lift truck of some description. only ask as I'm in the process of constructing a warehouse (well it started off as a loading bay now it has grown, currently on 3 48x48 baseplates) and require something to lift 'pallets'. Or is it a case of I need to construct it from scratch Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightningtiger Posted January 24, 2012 There was that one plus look closely at this from 2006..... Instructions from the actual forklifts are available from Lego.com building instructions page. Upload some pictures of your warehouse when they are ready 'gherkin' ! Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Upload some pictures of your warehouse when they are ready 'gherkin' ! Brick On ! Thanks guys, I'll build the top one first then have a look at the train set. Have to admit in not planning on doing the warehouse but once I competed the loading bay, it was like well where would the goods go!! It's sort of based on a warehouse I worked in years ago, the racking is about 4 mini figs high at the moment, not going any higher as I've got to put a roof on yet!!

SeanM Posted January 25, 2012 Here's a larger container lift from 7992 Don't forget smaller one's can do the trick too The forklift from 7733 is my favorite except it is a little flimsy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arator Posted January 25, 2012 There was also an forklift in set 6542 instructions here 1, 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remydodge Posted January 25, 2012 Train sets 7727 and 7722 also had forklifts. They're from the 4-wide era, so they're a bit more simple and have the "classic" charm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alois Posted January 25, 2012 When I was a child, I had set 615. But this set perhaps has a little bit too much charm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
michaelozzie Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) setnr 7733 Brickset The forklift in this set looks the closest to the real thing, alot like the one I get to use at work. Only the rollcage could be improved using the new piece thats on the recycling truck set Edited January 25, 2012 by Ricecracker Please don't quote images.

Dazmundo Posted January 25, 2012 When I was a child, I had set 615. But this set perhaps has a little bit too much charm. That's the one I was thinking of, I'm fairly sure I still have the working fork lift part! D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gherkin Posted January 26, 2012 Having just built the recycling set one (couldn't get the wheels to fit using LDD for the 7733 fork lift)that appears to have more height on it which is whats required. However due to the spacing between the racking I need to modifiy it so that the forks are at 90 degrees to the lifting section. Will keep my brain ticking over this evening after a mind numbing day at work!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
