We had to use two forklifts to get the UNIVAC stuff out of the facility on time.
It's good to know people with bigger forklifts! https://i.imgur.com/54YHazn.jpg We had to call in an emergency favor at one of the local big truck shops for that monster when we discovered the rental place sent us a forklift that *weighed* 8,000 LBS, not one that could pick up 8,000 LBS. When the guy driving it first tried to lift one of those pick-and-place machines, he stalled the big forklift pictured. Not strictly vintage computers, but powered by them, and in a past life those pick-and-place machines assembled stuff that's now becoming vintage! Thanks, Jonathan
