Forklifts


iso
8290 to be added

There have been forklifts from the very beginning of Technic.  These models represent a wide variety of sizes, and also a wide vartiety of lift mechanisms.  There are rack lifts, chain lifts, pneumatic lifts, motorized lifts, scissors lifts, and even rubber band lifts.

8416 is the biggest and most detailed, but I think the 8082 Universal Set is my favorite.  The mechanism that allows a single motor to shift from driving, to steering, to lifting is simply wonderful.
