All that only works on the old ones.
Any newer forklift has a pressure release and will not lift anything heavier than it is rated to lift.

You could make up a box that sits on the counterweight of the forklift and throw in a couple hundred pounds of whatever in on the rare occasion you need a little more lift. In a shop that I worked in we just had a couple guys sit on the back-end when we needed a little extra lift capacity.Yeah I know it wasn't real safe but that was back in the good old days when men were men, women were bored, and sheep were nervous.

Yesterday I bought a 5k lb capacity forklift.

For years I've used my Bobcat with pallet forks for moving most of my stuff around, but in the past year have gotten several things which exceeded the Bobcat's capacity.

I'm looking forward to be able to get my biggest non-portable engine out into the daylight to run.  No more using pipes as rollers to move it around!

Unfortunately a heavy piece of machinery I bought a couple years ago may still be too much for the forklift.  Should have gotten a 6k capacity one instead!  Guess it is like shop size or storage space, you can always use more than you have!

Ps.  It's a LP powered Yale with pneumatic tires, sideshift, triple-mast, and 48" forks.
