ALORRY-MOUNTED fork-lift device costing around £750 sounds too good to be true, yet the Wilson Foldfork made by F. G. Wilson & Sons, Millbrook Works, Lisburn, Northern Ireland, is now being produced at the rate of one per day, and is to be built under licence in the United States, South Africa and Australia.
The Foldfork lifts nearly 3 tons to a maximum height of 11 ft. 6 in. The forklift mast folds compactly into the chassis of the tractive unit and when the tractive unit and trailer are uncoupled it is converted into an efficient fork-lift truck. If there is insufficient space for manoeuvring at the delivery point the trailer can be parked some distance away and the goods conveyed on the Foldfork to the setting-down point As was envisaged initially, the machine is particularly suitable for the movement of timber, bricks, pallets, concrete and clay pipes. The productivity of the Foldforkequipped artic outfit operated by Naylor Bros., of Denby Dale, is apparent from the pictures.
