#700 – Mechanical Lift Truck – 1948-49
Buoyed by the reception of its #600 Amazing Car, Nylint followed up with an equally amazing #700 Mechanical Lift Truck in 1948. Popular Science thought very highly of its ingenious workings.
Lift Trucks are not all that difficult to find. Many survived. What is extremely hard to find is the aluminum pallet ("skid") that went with it. The box (rough example shown above) is also hard to find.
Mechanical Lift Trucks came in two colors, red and green (see bottom of page). Both sported the same decals. The box panels below explain in great detail how to operate this mechanical wonder.
The Green version of the Mechanical Lift Truck is much harder to find than the Red version. They were identical in construction. This one is missing the aluminum pallet – as are most.
