I just bought a 1966 H100C-AF-48 with the same specs. It had been sitting a while but wasn't hard to get running. The Hystermatic transmission is low on fluid, it looks bright red like Dextron. Does anyone know if this the correct fluid?

Thanks

I think the military does tend to overbuild. and sometimes waste resources ,but I'm glad they're there.

Here is that web site to figures load center and has a capacity calculator.

They removed the url so I took off the www and the slash AT THE END.
HOPFULLY THERE IS ENOUGH THERE THAT INTERESTED PEOPLE CAN FIND IT. sorry about the caps

from experience the military would usually use the largest truck they can to lift the smallest load. 1 site i used to got to had a 7ton truck for shifting matresses. 2 at a time !!!!lol

Thanks DeadandBloated
I was worried that my post would be confusing, but not to someone that knew how its calculated. The extra weights on the sides are factory installed.
I found one other on the net that's identical. they were advertising at 10,000 load capacity as the ID tag states. That's likely to make it harder to sell if a guy wants a heavy lifter and doesn't see or understand the 48 inch load center.
Im sure its military specific. The military probably had a specific size load to lift as you stated about the container size. its a big hunk of iron.
I play around with old metalworking machinery ,actually Im just getting started at home but worked with machinery all my life. I need a heavy lifter. Its fully functional. needs some TLC.
I spent a couple of days researching before I found that load calculator.
I will post a link to it and it may help someone else. I will have to find it again.
Thanks mllud

You are correct about the load center. 10,000 lbs. @ 48" is a lot of weight. The lift probably has 96" forks that they were using to pick up a 96" load. It would calculate around 20,000 lbs.
