The machine in Patrick's picture is not a fork lift its called a Lull. They are used extensively in major construction jobs and can lift major loads up several stories with ease. The boom will extend way out and up from the machine. A Lull will destroy your yard and crack thin concrete in a real hurry, they are serious workhorses. Some people refer to a Lull as a fork lift but that's like calling a tractor trailer a pickup truck.
