He weighs actual pallets and bags (not spec-sheet numbers), loads 720 lbs and 1,260 lbs, and shows what the forks can and can't lift and to what height. Useful for shoppers wanting honest, measured expectations rather than brochure figures.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on, self-tested impressions from his own property, aiming for factual accuracy rather than sales pitch.
In real-world testing, 600 to 700 lbs can be picked up and moved easily. A 720 lb load lifts but not very high, and 1,260 lbs barely lifts an inch or two.
The owner's manual lists 380 lbs for the 42-inch fork, while the forks themselves are stamped with an actual capacity of 3,750 lbs.
The owner suggests considering another model if you have a single item weighing 1,000 pounds that must be lifted all at once.
