I am looking for a forklift to load a furnace for heat treating and moving containers. The opening in the furnace is 24 inches wide. It's legs are 45 wide on the outside of them and 40 on the inside. The load will be a max of 800 lbs.

The containers have legs with an opening between them of 20.5 inches. They weigh about 1500 lbs.

I am seriously considering a Presto PPS2200-62NFO-27. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Fact of the week
The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
