Rebuilding The Worlds Biggest Forklift!!!

[@2H80vids]

With a project like this, a good start would be to ignore all the fanboy gushing and listen *very carefully* to the experienced diesel/hydraulic guys. A half-day training course for *both* of you would be, not only a sensible move, but possibly a *life-saver* ~ yours or someone else's. It might be a good idea to check all round the house and shop to find every overhead hazard(maybe even signpost them ~ it's all too easy to forget). Making mistakes while you learn could be fatal. I'm not elf + safety police but hydraulics can be seriously dangerous. I would also suggest leaving it dirty until an engineer looks it over; the oil and dirt could provide valuable pointers for someone who knows what they are doing. This could be a great piece of kit for the shop and for the new shop but get some serious, professional advice *first* ~ you nearly crashed it turning into the drive. Good Luck with it. Cheers for now, Dougie.

[@ricktaylor14001]

2H80vids GREAT ADVICE!! I sure hope these guys listen to all the good advice coming from the diesel and hydraulic community!! Can’t stress enough about “looking up”; your advice to signpost EVERY potential hazard on the property (and the new property as well) is SO GOOD!! Goonzquad..... LISTEN to this (and similar) advice! 99% of accidents involving rigs like this are HUMAN ERROR!! (no, that’s not a scientific % based on facts, but I bet I’m not far off with it!!🤣🤣) Well said 2H80vids (Dougie)!! Well said!! 👍

[@djdonohue]

Yah, like there's a procedure to raising a boom for engine access when the equipment has a Known hydraulic leak! Never go under the boom, until it's locked out in the "Up" position mechanically.

[@shawnadams1558]

That's called a screaming 2 stroke Detroit engine! Very reliable and dependable! Don't be scared to rev it out that's what they're made for! Also don't run it much if it's low on hydraulic fluid Because it can burn out the pump! Also there should be a safety latch under the boom on that beast so you guys don't get squished! Should.never go under that boom without the lock up thing in place! Good luck with it though guys and I can't wait to watch you guys fix her up!!

[@onespeaks8189]

"Should be a safety latch" Exactly, should, but don't think it has, been working on equipment from the same era and safety wasn't the main focus back then.

[@jaxxblackfox]

You guys are throwing off all my alarms with that thing! I work in safety and training at one of the largest gold mines in the country and you never ever walk under a suspended boom or load without it blocked against motion. With the hydraulic tank that low there is absolutely no guarantee that what's in there will hold that boom up with the engine not supplying constant pressure. A machine like this that has an engine compartment accessible by raising the boom will have built in locks for maintenance. You also had the powerline to the house right behind you, be sure to know all overhead obstructions before raising the boom cause the best case if you catch something is minor equipment damage and worse case would be death. I have always been impressed by your ability to research road blocks in your builds. Take the time to get to know this machine and the hazards associated with it. I saw in another comment but Westen Champlin is a you tuber that could offer a lot of insight on this build.

[@gregh7457]

[@PhilG999]

OMFG! These guys had me cringing! You NEVER walk under ANYTHING that isn't pinned! I saw the powerline too! I've used hydraulic equipment for 40+ years (designed some) and I still have all my fingers! Pinhole leak in a charged 10,000 psi line will take your arm off! Or cut you in half...

[@doglover123456654321]

It has forks and it lifts forklift

[@tommarti_f1870]

Charles Chenot it has a boom arm so it can lift stuff forwards and backwards when a fork lift can only lift stuff up and down

[@ColtonBlumhagen]

A zoom boom/telehandler is technically a class 7 rough terrain forklift. So technically it is a forklift.

[@classicrocker7440]

The 2 brake pedals, one is the brake and the other one is called a inching pedal or inching brake. It is used when you need to increase engine rpms for your hydraulics without taking it out of gear and to inch up on what ever you are moving, like using a clutch. This Forklift should work the same way. I was a Forklift Mechanic for about 14 years at a Nissan and then a Mitsubishi Forklift Dealer. If I'm wrong? I'm sure someone will let me know, I don't think I am but What can I say. Congratulations guys you will get some good use out of it. Just keep it serviced regularly and don't abuse it.

[@TheseBygones]

True stuff dude this comment needs to be seen

[@heaven-is-real]

that is awesome

[@benmac7315]

Haven't driven one like theirs before but that is certainly true for anything I have driven. Just don't use the inching brake when moving at speed

[@stevenperkins9322]

Also allows faster lifting if you push that pedal and increase rpms

[@whilethecitysleeps4928]

Its basically a clutch .... I clutch kick the crap out of my forky at work 🤭😁🤭🤫

[@DaveJohnsonad5nm]

Finally something I know a little about, lol. Detroit Diesel has been around longer than your pop's. They are popular industrial engine's built by GM. Very easy to work on and parts are readily available. For boom extension try setting the e-brake. Some models require the e-brake set because of stability issues if the equipment moves while it is extended. A GradeAll service manual will be a huge blessing. Those look like semi tires but they are actually industrial tires and the steering tires wear a bit faster for obvious reasons. If you need operational help feel free to let me know but I'm sure you have a friend in a warehouse that can help you. As you've already discovered rear wheel steering is a bit different but it will also get you places front wheel can not. Now invest in a hydrolic crimper, lol.

[@gamesofcontent]

I think Detroit Diesels is actually Rolls-Royce now. GM has not owned them since they went Duramax. They have been bounced around all over. I think Chrysler owned them after GM, then they have been passed around.

[@williamezell826]

A couple of things. 1- The extend cylinder is most likely not working for lack of fluid. 2- When the driver was pulling it off the trailer, it looked like the rear wheels where tilted in (camber) which means you are most likely gonna have to change the king pins. that would explain the hard turning he had after it was brought off the trailer and the tire wear. Nice unit !! Good luck!! Parts are easy to come by. If you need anything quick, i'm in atlanta and can get all you need here..

[@stephenshelby392]

William Ezell the cylinders probably need rebuilt. It didn’t look like they have a telescoping boom. Detroit is known for using oil. They need a cylinder lock if they are going to be working under it

[@williamezell826]

@@stephenshelby392 This is a high reach designed unit for construction, it has an extendable cylinder. If the cylinders need rebuilt they would have bypass fluid running down them because the o-rings would be worn. Detroit being the Engine has nothing to do other than powering the PRO Power take off that powers the hydraulic. The Diesel engine doesn't look to be leaking any oil. I am sure it could a full service though. Yes i will agree a boom lock would be advisable for their safety when in the air for service work.

[@cdavidwells01]

[@stephenshelby392]

Detroit diesels burn oil. They use it and they have been known to leak. They mentioned oil on the diff, that could be a sign of a leaking seal or hose or the fitting isn’t tight enough

[@williamezell826]

@@stephenshelby392 you're right they did, but there is alot going on at the end of the boom. The forks have tilt cylinders attached as well along with hoses that they were just using, hince fresh hyd. fluid. I would suspect a leak there.

As a general mechanic(diesel/heavy equipment) for several years , I wish I had the opportunity to share my knowledge with these guys. Yes they are young but they need proper guidance before someone gets hurt. I suggest looking at some operating safety videos

[@richardbaumeister466]

Be safe and have a professional check it out and give you good advice. 1 mistake can claim your life. Pay him to diagnose all the problems and fix them yourself. You should do this BEFORE you clean it as he can use forensics to find the problems

[@10wilsonm10]

Richard Baumeister along with this is to be careful operating it. Just got osha certified for fork driving and its a dangerous piece of equipment.

[@skeelo69]

Boys,this is the one piece of equipment you wanna show maximum respect & safety to, it could cause serious injury or death , wear a safety hat and goggles. If any of those hydraulic lines come loose you could risk serious injury . Pop's will need to offer guidance on this one, if in doubt seek the help of somebody who uses one daily.

[@joshuaekberg]

Like Skeelo69 said, hydraulic lines are not something you want to learn as you go with... A pinhole leak can have such high pressure that it will penetrate your skin and inject hydraulic fluid into your bloodstream - which can be FATAL. Have someone who knows what they are doing repair the hydraulic system.

The “GoonBoom” could diffidently use a Goonzquad make over with your name on both sides and some mods.... The engine is probably a Inline 4-53 series which will run forever as long as you do faithfully do your services. Also check to see if you have a engine oil pre heater 120 vote plug which is to keep the oil warm in cold weather. The fuel will turn to jell in extreme cold weather as well. I would check all the hydraulic lines and fuel lines for leaks...Great add for your shop...Good Luck

[@CubeReviewsUK]

[@ricktaylor14001]

GoonBoom! Luv it!! Kudos to you on thinking that one up. You’re right, maintenance is KEY to these things living long lives (along with care, RESPECT and common sense); it would appear that this beast has had a life of good maintenance already, and if they continue, it will last forever. These things also don’t depreciate much after their initial “hit” - there’s a very good chance of recouping about 100% of your investment in it when the time comes to sell. (I say “initial”, because I’m certain these guys will be putting a lot more $$ into customizing this!)

Don’t stand under a hydraulic anything, especially while it’s leaking 😩 Clean out the hydraulic system, fluid shouldn’t be dark. You wouldn’t be able to move the boom extension if any of the lines are leaking. The control servo may also be blocked or just simply not enough hydraulic fluidz

[@benmac7315]

Having worked on a machine that used to regularly blow hydraulic lines I can assure you everything still works ok, just if you try and use the system with the leak it blows oil absolutely everywhere. So it's easy to spot the leak. But agree most likely the control valve

[@tasmanmcmillan1777]

Ben Mac everything still works to an extent. I work on all sorts of equipment, from 800t excavators to little 1t forklifts. Hydraulic systems can easily fail, especially leaking ones. If there is a leak in the wrong place and that system loses pressure, the whatever it is which is on that circuit will immediately drop at the speed of the pressure loss. If it’s a complete blow, that boom will drop, killing whoever is under it. I’ve seen those things fail, it’s not pretty.

[@benmac7315]

@@tasmanmcmillan1777 I dont recall saying that it wouldn't. But then I don't reccomend standing under anything supported only by hydraulics. I also never said it would work properly as clearly it wouldn't only that it should work enough to be able to see with no load on it and at the same time spray oil all over the place making it real easy to see and hear the leak.

[@devinmonk4402]

It’s actually a telehandler, I work on this kind of stuff all the time. They probably blocked off the lines for the extend because it was leaking. Also I wouldn’t stand under it I have seen them blow out a lot and nothing stops it from coming down when it blows

Make sure you keep your eyes on each other-- always know where the other one is at-- that is how people get hurt with heavy equipment

[@millennialtrucker6435]

It needs a lift kit, alloys, light bar and a tune 😂 It’s obviously got a hydraulic issue, be careful standing or sitting under the main boom. Don’t trust those hydraulics.

someone didnt see the "shake hands with danger" video in High school shop class.. lol you have a stuck valve body or froze cylinder on your extend and and tilt. probably never used by the original owner and froze. hydraulics are generally simple. make sure you use the correct oil for your application. call the company direct for fluid specs. first things first. get your self a service manual👍 this company is well known for there wheeled excavators. Im actually just up the street from you guys.

[@Irulerockaway718]

Ah hell y’all need to careful under that boom especially if there’s no way to secure it while it’s up in the air. 1st and foremost whenever working on hydraulic lines or systems you always have to relieve the pressure before working on it( by working the levers back and forth side to side before working on it) cause those lines are under a lot and I mean ALOT of pressure so y’all be careful cause it can get dangerous real quick. Be safe y’all and congrats on the new purchase and the awesome content y’all create.

[@KT-ki2nv]

Watching you guys under the boom when it was raised in the air stressed me to the max. So dangerous. Please learn how to use and work on this monster safely at all times.

[@moman0166]

The long hyd. cylinder is called an extension cylinder for the inner boom. When I worked for Altec Industries who builds all those bucket trucks and digger derricks have extension cylinders on them. The cheapest one was $10,000 so take care of your forklift.

[@ryanmcpherson2677]

Detroit is the most reliable diesel engine brand, it used to be widely available similar to Cummins, but now is only available in freightliner semis as far as over the road trucks go. its definitely gonna be a good engine and if you go to your local freightliner dealer you should be able to get parts

Top up the hydraulic oil. This may give the pressure you need to extend the boom. Prop it before you climb under..... dont hurt yourself fellas

[@jacobdoak4181]

The reason for the two break pedals is one of them is for main breaking, like stoping the whole machine, and the other one is to stop the machine from moving so you can accelerate the engine and lift the forks up faster, I have a late 60s Clark forklift with that feature

[@Eschelonistic]

I doubt that the two I operate at work have 2 brakes, one is the brake and the other is what is known as the "Inching" brake, so you can move/creep up to the load or with the load.

[@articat568]

Eschelonistic they’re used for both technically

[@Eschelonistic]

@@articat568 well yes for braking but not for riding the brake using the motor

[@jacobdoak4181]

The long tube is the cylinder for the extension on the main boom, and the smaller one at the top is for adjusting the angle of your forks, and the 2 holes on the boom I think they are to put a security pole underneath the boom while you are working under it ;-)
