Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Kalmar Container Lift - By Jake Loyst


First-time contributor Jake Loyst started with a Walthers Kalmar forklift and narrowed the front end by removing one of the three tires on each side, narrowing the front fenders, shortening the body just ahead of the rear axle, and then removing an inch from the fork body to make it more compact. Jake added headlights with wire guards, a cab interior, new mesh window guard, handrails, and lines and cable inside the fork body itself to represent the hydraulic and electric lines.
