Pickup-Towed Pallet Carrier

Pickup-Towed Pallet Carrier MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 19-5-4 You can pick up and tow a 4,000-lb. pallet load behind a car or pickup with the new "Amaze-N-Tow" pull-behind forklift. "It gives any vehicle the lifting power of a forklift plus you can carry the load at highway speeds," says company spokes-man Jim Petrella. The rig is equipped with a pair of forks that are raised or lowered by a hydraulic cylinder that's powered by a self-contained 12-volt hydraulic pump. After you slip the forks under a load, you get out and operate a lever on the unit to raise the load. The forks tilt slightly forward as they're raised to secure the load. Two lock bars hold the lift mechanism safely in place. The load is raised about 12 in. off the ground during transport. The low center of gravity and wide wheelbase make it pull smoothly on the highway, says Petrella. Sells for $4,020. A 2,500-lb. model is also available that sells for $3,620.
