> On behalf of Logan Ivy, Earth Sciences Collections Manager at the 
> Denver Museum of Nature & Science:
>
> 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.
