<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On behalf of Logan Ivy, Earth Sciences Collections Manager
at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Denver Museum of Natures & Science is building a new
collections facility and almost all of the storage will be on compactors.
The Earth Science part of the collection contains some large dinosaur specimens
that are only safely moved with machinery, such as pallet jacks and forklifts.
Because of elevator capacity and aisle width constraints, we will not be
able to use a standard electric forklift in the area where the dinosaurs will
be placed on the compactor shelves. Since the carriages for the
compactors ride just above the floor, there is no room to use the lighter
forklifts with wheeled feet projecting out in front. We need something
that lifts about 1200 lbs., has a flat front, and weighs less that about 5,000
lbs., preferably powered. We are asking the community if anyone has had
to deal with a similar problem with compactorized shelves bearing heavy
specimens and how they solved the problems. The industry makes
fairly light weight forklifts that you walk behind and control with a pull down
yoke, but there may be other solutions out there we have not thought of yet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you<o:p></o:p></p>
