Thanks OldMech.
Yes I had the experience observing a prospective customer that was unloading a container of marble slabs & a lift with a fork positioner & was using the forks to stabilize the load from side to side. The slab shifted to the right side, the right fork moved & in a blink of an eye later the slab hit the ground - no one hurt - change of undies was necessary for the operator. It is just amazing how many little pieces of granite are in one slab.
But I (a sales type) being in the right place at the right time seized the opportunity to "solve " the issue for the customer with a lift of greater capacity fitted with a s/s clamp & a granite/slab handling attachment (fork mounted) - commission check was a bit larger that month.
