There have been forklifts from the very
beginning of Technic. These models represent a wide variety of
sizes, and also a wide variety of lift mechanisms. There are
rack lifts, chain lifts, pneumatic lifts, motorized lifts, scissors
lifts, linear actuator lifts, and even rubber band lifts.
8416 is the biggest and most detailed standard
forklift, while
8295 is the biggest
telehandler, 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.
