In the past we have had posts about Mitsu 6 cylinder diesels transplanted INTO Dodge vehicles.

We have posts about Slant 6s being transplanted OUT of Chrysler automobile service to forklifts.

There are posts elsewhere about one of the severe problems of the modern Russian army is that they never transitioned to off road forklifts and shipping containers and still human muscle handle a large percentage of supplies.

I once visited a new 10 story high coal cleaning plant at Marrowbone WVa where the plant manager was very proud that every piece of plant equipment could have a fork lift come pick it up and carry it away to two large industrial elevators. We had a spirited debate because I favored plant designs where two overhead travelling crane could “snatch up” any piece of equipment and carry it to a ground level side work area.

The humble forklift
does not get the respect it may richly deserve.
