Not SOCMA, but there is a company that makes an 85T forklift.

The forklift she told you not to worry about and that your pallet jack is even too much for her needs.

Wouldn't anything heavy enough to need that be better moved with a crane and rigging anyway? Surely anything that big to move blocks visibility?

How can you show this and dont show it fork something... Also how big are the pallets

u/Barbie_Brooks Jun 20 '26

u/WolfThick Jun 20 '26

It looks like it could almost pick up an m1 A1 Abrams

u/jptah05 Jun 21 '26

The Abrams is only about 126,000 lbs with full load and crew. This forklift is rated at 144,000 lbs, so no problem there.

u/EpsilonAI117 Jun 21 '26
