Overview
This is a real-world lifting-capacity test on an owner's own 1025R, made in response to online complaints about weak lift performance. He weighs actual pallets and bags (not spec-sheet numbers), loads 720 lbs and 1,260 lbs, and shows what the forks can and can't lift and to what height. Useful for shoppers wanting honest, measured expectations rather than brochure figures.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on, self-tested impressions from his own property, aiming for factual accuracy rather than sales pitch.
