Hola, la idea es genial. Yo tengo una tienda de coche y lo que me hace no disfrutarla, es que necesito a dos personas más para poder instalarla. En realidad lo mejor es instalarla entre cuatro personas. En mi caso la tengo en un local y de allí tengo que llevarla al coche que está en el asfalto, cerca, pero pueden ser 25m entre el local y el coche. Eso complica mucho la maniobra y tampoco se soluciona con un invento como el de tu vídeo. Necesitaría algo mucho más compacto. En definitiva, un rollo. Gracias por compartir el vídeo.
I could. Originally, I was going to build a lever to pull that would tilt it back. I could also have put a threaded rod rod with a crank that would allow more granular adjustment and tilt while using it. But, in the end, it worked for the client, and he took it the way it was finished. If he's happy, I'm happy.
I'd extend the legs or put some counterweight on it before adding too much. The tent we lifted is about 200 pounds. It was surprisingly stable. But, sudden moves might scare it.
It's just mild steel. The "forks" are just 1" x 3" x 0.120" HSS. As for dimensions, I don't remember really. It was built for one job. In this case, it only needed to lift that roof top tent off of the vehicle and later lift it back on to the vehicle. I can only assume your specific needs would be different.
Nice i need that to lift me up to my bed when im wasted
Thank you for sharing your build. I have a 78 Bronco and no forklift at home. This may work well.
That is the exact design I am looking for to use for my two hard tops. The articulation for a level ascent and descent is perfect. Thank You
Justin, that is freakin' brilliant! Great work!!!!!
Great work, I'm trying to decide between several lifting solutions and I appreciate your skills and ideas here.
Be careful.
Very well engineered! And I loved the groovy music during the demo 😃
Best one I’ve seen so far!
Nicely done main scare is it dont tip
Add a long boom on the other side with counter weight then you got yourself a skyscraper crane.
Very ingenious, glad to see a new video !
I think I may have enough for another video. But, I think I'll see about getting some better video next week.
Nice. Nice music too. I enjoyed it.
Well done
Nice build, and much appreciated for inspiring mine! ;-)
Weld a piece of 2" tube on the back so you can put it in your receiver hitch and rent it to all the "overlanders" within a 50 mile radius.
I like the way you think.

Great I liked it 👍👍
I think you forged something in this video! Could you add a turnbuckle to adjust the angle of the forks?
I could. Originally, I was going to build a lever to pull that would tilt it back.

But, in the end, it worked for the client, and he took it the way it was finished. If he's happy, I'm happy.
How did you determine the pivot point so the forks stay parallel during movement? Thank you.
Could u lift and engine? What is the max lift weight?
Are you offering your plans for the forklift online?
I am not.
Nice!
I saw your add on Facebook, are you going to mass produce it someday?
Nice idea.. What Wilton vice do you have ? C1?
I think it's the 1765 Tradesman.
How heavy of a load do you think you could lift with it without it wanting to tip?

I just learned some shit. 😂❤🤯
I hope it was good.
Do you think I could get away with a 1 ton engine hoist or should it be 2?
Well, you'd have to do your own math. But, 1 ton is still 2000 pounds and those tent's don't weigh much.
Hi - can you please share the measurements and type of metal you used for the modifications of the hoist so I can replicate?

wait until it flips over foreward
