Talk:Weightmate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Might be an old brand name or not

I thought this was a brand of rider forklift truck from the description. But...

• I can't find a company called Material Movement in Michigan
• Onan engines are no longer manufactured. They were sold only to Lincoln Welders and Miller Welders[1]
• I assume Lincoln Welding is actually Lincoln Electric, which has produced welding equipment for over 100 years.[2] I'm not sure how a welding engine ended up on a forklift truck.
• Weight Mate seems to be a name for a weight gauge sometimes used on forklift trucks [3]
• The description of a forklift truck in this article isn't unique to this article. I found a similar description in an online auction (I've lost the link):

MATERIAL MOVEMENT WEIGHT MATE ST3024 3000-LB.

ELECTRIC STAND-UP RIDING FORKLIFT TRUCK, S/N

3024RLT540, Lift 102”, Solid Tires, Overhead Guard

I'll try to categorize the article and add maybe a stub tag (or two), but if nobody can figure out what this is about within a few months, I suggest the article be deleted. --Stone Violin (talk) 00:28, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
