The product name is "forked lift," but the proper English is "forklift." Just saying.

Well, Bill, you are right! But the photo says it all!

No, that's not a forklift. It's a lift which is forked. "Forked Lift" is indeed the correct terminology. This is a forklift.

I had that picture glued to my Navigation Notebook when I used to drive ships. I had it titled "The importance of staying on track..."

A member (sharkmouth) has pointed out in a PM that this is NOT a forklift nor a forked lift, but a Weaver M-1 Bomb Lift. The rectangular pad lifts and is not forked at all.
