Never seen forks on a dumper before or after this was seen at Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Cowes Week had just finished at the time of my visit and the dismantling of the stalls and so on was ongoing. A Toyota forklift was being kept busy as well, a 5FG25 2.5ton model, gas powered.
Should be back there again next year, my main interest is the large black giant cantilever crane at Cowes and more lately a smaller green derrick crane further upriver. My attempts at finding out who owns the land on which it sits however have so far resulted in failure. I'd like to get a closer look at it; seems all the internal winding/movement gears and such are still intact! Very rare for something built in the 1950's or earlier...
