I was in for a surprise when I checked my emails this afternoon; I had a reply from Sir Neville Bowman-Shaw (SamUK Lift Trucks Ltd) identifying the larger forklift as a Boss D42; capacity of 4200 (kg I assume) @ 1200mm load centre with perhaps a 4.0m duplex mast. Engine is likely to be a Leyland 680 diesel and a British Twin Disc transmission.

There was a G series of this forklift, with a 4m width designed to handle containers 20-40ft in length with the lift height to stack up to 4 containers on top of one another.

Thank you for all the help on this, I believe I have only one Boss brochure kicking around somewhere and its certainly not for a machine of this size!

Best regards

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
