Hello all,
Does anyone know of a source for telescoping forklifts in HO?
I realize that this would be a great kit-bashing/scratch build but I’ve got so many “I’ll get around to it eventually” projects that I’d rather just buy them.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I found mine in Ebay, look in diecast and toy vehicles, construction.
You’ll probably end up buying it from a dealer in China, but I’ve never had problem. Sometimes shipping takes a while. Sometimes you’ll find one from a dealer in the US.
Mine came with a bucket, so I’m going to scratch a set of forks for it.
Good luck
Mike.
Hello all,
Thank you for your suggestion. I have been searching eBay for months with no luck.
I have found a telescoping boom loader. I could easily kit bash a set of forks for this unit.
But the shipping cost is more than the unit itself!
Again, thank you for your suggestion.
Here’s one I found just now.
Shipping will take a while, it’s from China.
Look in "Diecast and Toy Vehicles, click on construction, select 1:87 scale.

JJ,
If you don’t mind ordering from E-bay from China. Hop in eBay and type in 1:87 JCB telescopic forklift. Forget the price but it’s a decent model without kitbashing. Should be what you’re looking for.
Just picked up two 1:87 die cast/plastic Hyundai 250D-E7 yard size forklifts. These are light-years ahead of other HO forklifts. Great detailing !

Hello all!
Thank you.
At that price I’ll be ordering several.
Again, thank you for your suggestion.
Glad I could help. Gonna take about two weeks from across the pond to receive them. Please share your scene when completed.
