Who uses their TLB as a forklift and what attachment system do you use for it? I understand CAT has a quick-coupler attachment although I haven't seen it myself. What I use is a pair of forks taken from a standard forklift and slightly modified with a hooked bracket at the bottom added. The forks just get hooked over a notched plate welded to the top of the loader bucket. Simple, quick and very effective. Only thing I hate bout it is that when offloading pallets of bricks from a truck, I cannot see the position of the forks at all, cos I'm looking into the back end of the loader bucket, so need to have someone on the truckbed to guide me with up or down and angle. When the full pallet is on the ground though, its easy to judge on my own. But not from a truckbed due to the automatic levelling of the bucket when lifting.
