Looks like a little Sambron (they were a pig to steer on the road) and a large old Sanderson

The only forklift made by Hymac was the Overlander 45 which was actually built by Coventry Climax; it was an all terrain machine but only two wheel drive.

Hi Brian,
I have just come across this site and finding it interesting. I am in the process of restoring an MHM which got a lot of abuse in it,s previous life, the mast has taken a beating and I need to replace the inside mast channels. Any advise on where I might source same would be greatly appreciated.

Francis.
