Retired

This retired straddle lift manufactured by Hyster is sitting at a small museum in Toledo, OR. Back in the early 80s I drove one of these for a sawmill/furniture factory in Pendleton, OR. They are an interesting machine to operate since you are so high up in the air and the visibility close-up is poor.

Sadly, like many other pieces of equipment and the mills themselves, there are not very many of these still operating.

The mill I worked for no longer exists; the property is now a Wal-Mart.
