Rebuilding The Worlds Biggest Forklift!!!

what is up guys welcome back to the channel so today we got something brand new for the channel a new build something super exciting and something that we've never thought would be purchasing off an insurance auction but we've seen the opportunity and we quickly jumped on it because we are gonna be building our new shop here soon and we're gonna utilize it there and also we noticed that we need this sucker every day here pretty much what we do engine swaps and just lifting heavy packages and everything in between and it is gonna be here any minute because it came out of state and it's on a heavy-duty truck I think is on a semi maybe I don't know but we're gonna go ahead he's gonna pull up here any minute now and we're gonna check this sucker out [Music] so alone I can't even believe it how the heck did he get it up there how's he gonna get it off I don't think he has ramps [Music] there she is dying she is massive all right yes we have arrived and first glance at this sucker and it looks massive so far we've had some pretty good news on it right yeah it drove up here actually so we're good with that dude of honestly just drives that's all I'm worried about right now I don't see any leaks or anything just quick off the bat a little bit of rust but you know what I just see you know this is ordinary oil just all over the bottom over there but this thing is gonna be crazy and I think it weighs like 20,000 pounds or something like that I'm really not sure but they definitely had to deliver cuz our trailers would not be able to handle this yeah I thought it was gonna come I thought maybe on it like a super heavy-duty dually trailer but they had to bring it on a semi this is crazy this is crazy let's go ahead and take these ramps out and set them up and get this sucker off of here [Music] would you grab all we need a jumper box and also grab the checkbook because this one was pretty expensive to get delivered I was like Oh hundred bucks or something 200 bucks I mean it could have been cheaper it could have been not yeah I mean that's a around like 900 but this guy offered to bring down a lot sooner and he was already there so we just went ahead and did it you know I mean it was worth it you know we got it right away I was just looking at it quickly while you were gone do brand new tires really yeah brand new tires on the front you know it's looking really good so far so honestly dude I'm pretty excited for this bill just like for it's like don't worry this is something that under this is new territory you know what I mean does that anything that's new territory is like super crazy exciting for fun for us because we learn a lot you know we learn along with you guys and you guys are gonna help us vice versa yep let's go ahead and you can get this sucker let's do it have to let him drive it off because I don't even I don't know how to handle it just yet yeah he here he had a little bit of experience to brake pedals is actually pretty tight you know one of these may be like the emergency brake or something it's just the same as the other forklift I think but there's tons of potential your crane attachments oh dang or you can do a crane attachment or uh what is that it's like a wintery of who needs the hoist attachment and it's got a blower dude this thing is turbo turbocharged or ship you're getting good stuff it's a double charged look at that twin turbo dude this is insane dude let's go ahead and see if we can jump this under all we can find the battery do wherever the battery be probably on their feet probably well we got going on back here boy diesel right here that is a beast it is a turbocharged I think it is no I don't think I think is just regular no I didn't see any leaks which is awesome unless it already leaked out probably but it's got a pintle hook right here dude we got a a pintle hook trailer we can go pick up builds at this thing yeah yeah we're gonna go pick up some heavy more heavy-duty bills but yeah let's go ahead and see what's going on he's gonna he's gonna take off one van yeah one thing take off one van and then we I think we should be able to drop it down check this out damn this hydraulic fool we're gonna definitely be adding that but is that were the batteries Arthur that's right behind this two batteries here wonder what this is right here oh this is probably the exhaust air filter or air for the yeah that's fence for air for the day oh my goodness like these big ol hydraulics to do the big boom look how thick that big yeah let's go ahead and actually leave this sucker it will fire man yeah I haven't even heard a fire up so this is gonna be something new right here diesel right for these these second there's heavy-duty man [Music] airbrakes I think that's what I just heard some air brakes or something but make sure you're in neutral with this leaver right here where's your drive leaver what's this leader I don't know I don't even know how to start this thing I don't know how to do you might have to get or this there's your ebrake right there pull that up it's all the way up well I just have to get him to do it cuz he already knows how to do it I guess he's probably messing with it hi so I actually just fired up and actually fired up for anything smooth right there I don't know how to work this thanks dude and then I guess we drive it off I don't know how to handle that thing - not yet not yet I don't want to drive it off the trailer yeah we don't want to be liable you know do you think Kersey I look at the light on top [Music] alright guys we just took care of the payment he's about to leave out of here but dude this is a sick trailer right here then he actually hauled this thing with because after he unloaded that sucker that axle right there slid all the way for is just to even out the weight or something like that I don't know but that's a heavy-duty one we're probably gonna have to buy a special trailer just for this thing what do you think exactly dude probably gonna have to do dual dually tires right yeah delete our trailer something with like air brakes or something like that because this thing is heavy none of the trailers that we got can handle this thing honestly heck another we're gonna figure it out let's take this thing home yeah it doesn't fire this thing up and drive down the road man I saw I'm kind of getting used to how to work this thing you got turned the key and then you got a I think this is to cut off this is to cut the fuel on this is a cut to fuel off so or is that a choke I don't know when it's a fuel pump cuz I hear I know maybe I think somehow put it in neutral one of these gears battery dead you're gonna slide this door once you get locked in good and I left the battery booster on here all I gotta do is just hit this button and we are good to go Tom definitely need for a light bar up there girl Oh that's right boys we just bought the world's biggest forklift this sucker is massive compared to all these other cars let me stand over here that rear rear will turn radius man is a lot different man I just had to go all over the road dude that was sketchy I thought you were better for like flying to that ditch or something and when he was unloading it the towers kind of flattened and look like is it better for you definitely some new tires because then things are fall but on the front these tires are new to me those will do right there you just need to pump up the rears there shot but we're gonna definitely replace him know what we just got ourselves into right here dude I didn't know it was this massive nice forks are huge and everything dude this is gonna be sick we just couldn't figure out the boom extension we still need to figure that out maybe the hydraulics are shot on it yeah who knows maybe that's why they put it up on the auction because the boom doesn't really exist and this was actually a rental company that sold it you know I mean but dude this thing is crazy first of all dually axle look at that huge dip in the front man it's like crazy I don't even know I mean we got these turn signals right here they were they work nice LEDs dude this piece right here I guess you can just walk on it I don't know that's nice I guess that's just a counterweight you know you're from that side do other than that we got some fuel tank right here diesel tank right there where you put that basil smell it will this thing roll cold or doing you throw a little turbo on it a little turbo diesel turbo I did notice that there's a good bit of rust on this thing but you know what it's not all the way through what are you saying a brand new you you know this is this is kind of an old what year is this a 1985 right here hey check out this one tire that's flat oh I think they were doing like donuts or something in it dude how we gonna get these wheels off just a chain that's like a semi truck exactly like I send my pops will know how to do that dude he's gonna love working on this thing man this is nice hydraulic steering and stuff like that see how everything's kind of we need to give this thing a nice pressure wash you know I don't have a pressure washing grease everything wash this or wash through wash it on just to see where it's leaking from and stuff like that but over here we got cooling radiator - that's an old radiator right there and that's a huge engine what kind of engine is that know Detroit Diesel is that four cylinder looks like before yeah it looks like a four cylinder for sure I didn't see a turbo on it which kind of sucks but you know what we don't need that yeah we need to figure out how this boom extends right here which these hydraulic lines right here look actually new you see that they get more brand new hydraulic lines as for the other stuff I have no idea we're just gonna have to figure it out that's a that's a little rental company pedal hook definitely gonna come in handy I guess yeah this IDE over here all this the taillights work yeah hydraulics look at this huge hydraulic right here do that thing is insane dude that's not leaking yeah none of this is leaking we honestly we can actually get like a hydraulics company out here to check this stuff out you know what I mean your service to go through everything maybe even figure out why that boom ain't working or something like that well we can probably try to figure that on the research yeah what do we got here I see fuel filter right there a fuel system that looks like it's been changed recent a fuel system this is a airbox let's check this and see what it looks like cause if it's been changed before you know this should be a good sign yeah it looks like it's been changed before look he gives you a date 9 3 10 2015 when it was inspected right there so we're definitely gonna have to reinsert buy some new things for it but dude I mean overall for what we paid for it I think we got a good deal on maybe a brand new paint job on this sucker and dude we should be in the game all right guys so the boom is not working but dude check this out on this door we got our whole entire service manual basically this is the service instructions that you basically go through I don't know if you do this like every month every day or something like that but heck I don't know look radiator gas check one 24 quarts it basically tells you how much quarts we need and as for our hydraulic oil tank right here it looks like we're honestly completely low right probably because I do see a leak right there it's slowly leaking it or maybe leaking a lot because it's probably empty but when you probably sat here since 2015 somewhere you know before some I doing up on the auction probably leaked everything out but as for this though look at this all engine do they have like everything written down all the part numbers and all that good stuff yeah but we're deaf I know a place where we can get some hydraulic fluid a whole like 5-gallon bucket that's probably what it takes right yeah it's gonna take every bit of a bullets jump on the top of this thing and look at it from a different angle I actually want to lift that not the boom but that whole thing up just so we can see that engine a little bit good crank it up and lift that boom hook or though I don't know what you'd call that yeah I guess it's a boom boom boom boom this is what we're gonna call this thing boom boom boom right here I think let us know what you guys think we should call it cuz this thing is gonna put in work oh yeah for sure let's see how cranks up oh yeah no the fans don't work but I noticed that we got some kind of heater back here and actually works watch this actually it don't did I think it worked earlier though it did work a little earlier although here you go back is that knob right there just a heater knob oh nice heat for the winter lady that's nice and warm does that come off the engine I have no idea but check the little wiper out and they actually works check this out that's it this thing is mint dude what about what about that rooftop thing does it open up oh yeah we got we got something right here this is an all-seasons mobile right here this is an all-seasons viewer everything man this thing is legit man we need to get these little turbo fans go we're good to go yes sir all right let's go ahead and lift up that boom in then we're gonna check out that side over the top [Applause] [Music] yeah that sucks but you know what look how high it lifts up we could utilize it as it is you know what I mean yeah I wonder if it's safe to actually climb up under this as the hydraulics are like this what's that sucker just slams down but look at this big ol thing right here yeah see hydraulic fluid right there there's a drive shaft to get some of these lines changes over which is not a big deal I guess that's the transmission right there the hydraulic pump roll that transmission basically right there is the transmission and it also powers the hydraulic yeah for some things I think this is the huge hydraulic pump that actually goes into the that little box under there for the hydraulic fluid so dad is one massive pump that's probably where when you locate while our boom is not extending you know exactly that could be an issue but I mean the engine looks pretty clean over the top definitely gonna need a wash this thing and see how well it cleans up yeah definitely see a little bit of leaking from the top but hopefully there's just a few lines that we can just change here and there not a really big deal but check this I think this is where you actually connect a little a winch or brain and crane attachment something like that dude that is thick what do you think can this pick up a semi you think you can probably pick up the front end of a cinema I think a semi weighs like thirty three thousand pounds or something I don't know dude it will try to pick up anything we possibly can but one thing that I want to ask you guys is this Detroit Diesel what cutting I never even heard of this you know I've heard of them they're actually pretty dang good and I think parts are readily available so we're good on like if something breaks on us we can definitely get a bunch of parts you know yeah what I really want to do yeah we don't know how that goes but I want to just completely wash this pin you know get a big five-gallon bucket of degreaser used to just dump it on this power something purple power this thing but I wonder if this is the fuel little cutoff thing right here you know that I'm pulling and stuff something like that there is a lot that we need to learn right here but you know what that's why we honestly wanted to just do this project because we need a forklift yeah we need a bus we want to learn about it we learn about forklifts or about heavy-duty equipment okay small oh yeah all this stuff every like heavy-duty equipment basically runs off this thing four-cylinder diesel and big ol hydraulic pump and all that good stuff I had to just turn off that battery booster you've got a little pole right here this is actually came in handy when I was driving down the road oh yeah those mirrors come in handy but look at this long boom right here or is that a wonder cylinder well I don't know what you'd call you see this this is why we're learning but I think this is the thing that actually extends the whole boom up and out of there so as long as it is that's how far can extend which is pretty dang wild and there's another cylinder up there as well so it could even go further oh dang dude there's all types of crazy stuff that we're learning about this thing wait to use this thing honestly especially when we're gonna be building a shop and just like to pick up these cars or whatnot yeah unload cars and all that good stuff pull engines out pull cars out of the ground dropping 50 feet from the air oh I wouldn't mind you know doing some projects with this thing but overall so far everything looks good it looks like it was a well maintained unit you know what I mean somebody maintained it perfectly it just sat for a while you know that's all it is because as you can tell there is new lines that ever so often you see this that's a brand new line that somebody installed and that's all it takes is just changing a few lines like that leaking all the way right there is just coming from one of those let's actually check it out right there yeah something up there probably the line one of the lines or I don't know if they have like seals or you just completely buy a new line but we do have a company near Chattanooga that actually does all this like they do custom lines and all that good stuff so we should be good there but guys that is gonna be a wreck for today's video let us know what you think about this massive forklift and if you have any suggestions let us know what color we should paint it what we should do to it how I should soup it up and also if there's any forklift experts out there be sure to give us some tips and tricks we could definitely use them so with all that being said guys make sure your post notifications are on so you don't miss out on anything and also be sure to give us a follow on instagram where you can get an inside scoop before youtube and if you want to help support your boys be
