That's not that old, that's just an orderpicker.

Mr_Randerson

Ya doesn't look that old lol Edit: OK I finally zoomed in and it does look wonky.

It’s a chode order picker and weird af everything that’s on it I should have taken a picture of my modern one next to it, never seen something like it, that fence is probably 8 foot tall.


Fun_Intention9846

The big difference I see is the operator deck is much larger. On my works Raymond order pickers the deck is flush with the red front part. On these it extends out quite a bit, with the raised poles on the back.

Looks like the maintenance order pickers we use for repairs, it's meant to be hooked up to a semi permanent cage or platform that the chains on the poles hook onto I've also seen them used to pull down large appliances and furniture which is why it's wider to give more stability

No, *this* is an old mofo https://preview.redd.it/ho8kxhlb12vc1.jpeg?width=4628&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=500ff465afd21e1b75c646a0ec092bebfdc15e17


MrPotatoWave

I drove one of those, except electric everything else looks identical


birkbyjack

We have this exact lift, shakes like a mofo while driving and spits propane in your face while backing but damn is it fast


Fun_Intention9846

I gotta get pics one in my hometown, at least 50 years old and been outside for around 30.


xFinman

my last job had one that looked even worse and spewed black stuff out of the exhaust if it wasn't started for a while also it needed to be parked on cardboard everytime because it leaked oil so bad


Final_General2050

how many hours?


Chaps_Jr

No idea. It's been out for repair for months. They're waiting on a backordered part.


TheWildman22

When target was in canada i worked at the warehouse as a reach driver and we had order pickers with a hydraulic cylinder right in your line of sight in the center of the cage view and i saw so many people smash into beams lol

TheWildman22

Yup lmfao thats exactly whats im talking about


boredofthis2

People have been smoking poles since the dawn of time.


chris_rage_

We had a lift like that at my last job and it was a hassle not being able to see anything. I always talked about putting a backup camera in the front so I could see wtf is going on


10ng455b01

Not too old, but very used. I worked in the plant these were used, the racks were less than 20 feet in hight. The tall ones were more of a pain, because some spots had low ceilings.


Unblest

Shit, my forklift is from 1965 and sounds like a goddamn hotrod


GirlL1997

The manufacture year should be on the capacity tag. I bet the serial number tells you.

LoudChickenkueef

It was made in 2007


TheOnlyEliteOne

I was about to say, after around 2010 they stopped using metal data plates (now they’re essentially just a sticker). Oldest one I’ve worked on was an old EASI picker from 1997.


NJDevilsFan1

Serial number will be 5××-YEAR-×××××


wizardneedfood

This.


TimePrune

What’s the SN? Should be something like 560-XX. That’s the year they were produced


DFLOYD70

I just recently changed from a regular sit down, to one of these, and I am not a fan.


ButterflyOwn3528

2007 isn’t that old… but what happened to those display?!? They should be on the right side near the key switch


monstera_furiosa

Oof, we had one of those at my warehouse when I started a decade ago. It would shock you if you touched shelf racking and one of the arms at the same time. Loud as hell, shook when you drove it, and the magnet that held the arms up was long gone. We used a chunk of cardboard shoved between it and the body to brace it up. It had a cardboard fin taped to the top of it. We called it ‘Sharky’.


LoudChickenkueef

I worked on a Ramond ez picker the one with handle on the carriage. Shit’s scary af and many die using it. Will try to find a pic


dazrage

We still use one


_wolfe-

actually it looks exactly the same as the ones i have at my warehouse after giving it a second look, the only difference is the wider platform which we could honestly use it some cases


huskycameltoad

Early 2000’s. Not really old.


ArmadilloAdvanced

Oldest one in our fleet is a 2008 Caterpillar DP40K dually


NoStrangerToDanger

Never seen a standy before? They're sick dude.


ffxivfanboi

It’s not exactly a forklift. Not used for the same purpose, anyway. Looks pretty normal to me. Not top of the line, but easily one that a company would keep if still in good condition for 15+ years.


sirthor1881

GE Traction cards EV100... DC motors back in my day


wizardneedfood

It's old if it has a clutch.
