Pallet Truck Restoration and how basic hydraulics work video.

[Tilly819]

Hi all.

I've been at it again and made another video. I know some of you enjoy them so here it is.
Got given this pallet truck a while back and it was in a very sad state so decided to do a bit of a restoration. Got some plans for it long term including using it for moving the machines around in the workshop. Got a kinda ingenious idea for some skids to mount onto the bottom of the machines to make everything super flexible as I don't have a huge amount of space to play with.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Cheers,
Tilly

I was looking forward to the bit where you were going to remove the hair, fluff, shrink wrap, kebab ensemble that inevitably collects around the lift wheels.
Wonderful stuff though, thanks.

@Mark 2 I think this one was full of baler twine and camels pubic hair. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

Tilly819,
All my big machine sit on a chassis /frame that a pallet truck can get under.....
They also have 20mm dia adjustable feet....just bolts n welded nuts....
Only the Bridgeport sits on the floor....use a big engine crane to move that lump....

That's my exact plan for a future video. I'd love to see some pics of how you do yours of possible.
Any tips on their design?

Cheers and thanks for watching.
