Abstract
A machine for handling heavy components in a heavy equipment environment. In an example implementation, the machine includes a truck having at least two front wheels and at least one rear wheel. A outrigger portion extends forward from the truck. The front wheels are attached at a forward end of the outrigger portion. A mast extends vertically from a track extending forward from the truck on a base of the outrigger portion. The mast is movably extendable or retractable along the track. A carriage is mounted on the mast and configured to move vertically on the mast. A pair of forks are mounted on the carriage to move vertically when the carriage is controlled to move. A personnel platform is mounted on the carriage independent of the mounting of the forks on the carriage. A remote control panel is configured to override a cab control panel under operator control. The remote control panel includes a plurality of controls for moving the carriage and for extending or retracting the mast.
