Brown's Yacht Yard Marina Bull

See this ginormous forktruck?  It’s called a marina bull(thanks Toby for the correction) and instead of flat forks which we have on our forktruck to move pallets of fish and lobsters around, the marina bull has long round tubes coming off it’s front.   The marina bull is also about triple the size of our forktruck so you can get an idea of the scale of it’s size.   The marina bull is used to manuver smaller boats into the rack storage system at Brown’s where they store boats warehouse style in the racks (you can see Brown’s Rack storage system in front of the marina bull in this shot). 

These marina pulls need to be incredibly heavy especially in the rear end so they can counterbalance the weight of the boat that will be lifted straight out in front on the long tubes.  Note to Peter -you might wanna get the maintenence guy to grease up the chains.
