View Full Version : OAKOS Automotive welcomes our newest member: Old Allis
OAKOS Automotive 12-13-2007, 02:31 PM No we didn't hire an old lady named Allis... we just picked up an old Allis Chalmers forklift! She's old, but still has some life left in her yet! :)
We bought so much of Prodrive's inventory that I was dreading unloading it all by hand. We also have some huge shipments coming in from some other new companies soon. ;)

OAKOS Automotive 12-13-2007, 04:45 PM We love Allis! For those of you that are wondering, thats Dave at the helm unloading the pallet full of Prodrive bits. It sure beats having to unload pallets in the rain when the trucking company does not have a lift gate!!!
Oh and Dave...We do need some more Womez around the office!! As long as they are not old ladies named Allis:D

Paranoid Fabrications 12-13-2007, 06:52 PM nice sticker too :D

dentsport 12-14-2007, 02:41 PM I think that needs to get on the dyno.
SloRice 12-14-2007, 03:03 PM that thing needs a WRB paint job!! :D
OAKOS Automotive 12-14-2007, 03:19 PM :lol::lol:
Unabomber 12-15-2007, 11:33 AM Throw that piece up on a dyno and see what she puts down. I'm thinking low HP and high TQ. :)
boost junkie 12-15-2007, 12:08 PM Nice, I bet that thing comes in handy. I have had to unload pallets off of trucks with no lift gates before and it sucks, especially when it's cold and/or raining.
wrxhard 12-15-2007, 12:38 PM We have the same forklift where i work. It sucks to start, but it beats the hell out of unloading a pallet of bore gel 2 50lb bags at a time!
+1 on the wrb paint!!!
OAKOS Automotive 12-15-2007, 08:53 PM LOL, it would look so funny on a dyno. :)
boost junkie, I've been unloading things by hand for the past 6 years unless we'd get lucky and the driver would have a lift gate. Rain, snow, sick, 110 degrees, you name it... this thing was $950 well spent. :)
wrxhard, ours starts right up fortunately. It leaks oil like crazy though. :)

OAKOS Automotive 12-15-2007, 08:54 PM BTW, I just unloaded 5 more pallets of PRODRIVE yesterday. :D

Daishi00 12-15-2007, 10:04 PM Somebody want to loan me $2.5k so I can get a set of 05's 17x8's? :lol:
OAKOS Automotive 12-15-2007, 11:28 PM I'm sure this guy will lend you money. The rates may not be so favorable though. :D

OAKOS Automotive 12-22-2007, 02:18 AM LOL, I don't think Allis is up for much joy riding. Come visit though, we haven't seen you in a while. We have FREE stuff! :)
