Something slightly different today...actually very different! Quite far off from cars I guess :p. One of the good parts of working in the oilfield industry is getting to see simply gargantuan pieces of equipment and the machinery associated with them. The picture below is of a 30 Ton capacity Forklift, a mammoth of a machine, trust me on this. You don't really get a sense of scale with this picture (my bad) but those wheels are probably about 3-4 ft high.
These things are used for ultra heavy duty loads, say for example a fully loaded shipping container. The 30 Ton capacity should also give you an idea. Hopefully I'll get to see more examples of this size fixation as my work takes me to other places :)
