except the mast inclination cylinders, which are usually placed on the top
of the roof cabin. The mast design letf me only this height.

Yes, as pixel said, it doesn't match real movement speed. But the problem
was actually taking the picture: I had to maneuver with one hand the
controls, and with the other the digital camera - in fact the movie is
shaking a lot - and I couldn't modulate the forklift pneumatic movement.
I'm too lazy to search some solution for that! I'm waiting for my girlfriend
to help me! ;-P

Right! the control is pretty basic designed, I think I will later improve it
to add some playability (and aestethic, too)

Again you are right. I just put those long forks to "match" the shape ratio
of the mast when fully lifted: the height of the fork top is too much
compared to the lifting level, and those long forks help a bit in correcting
proportions - but now You noticed the trick and I have to shorten them :-)

thanks a lot!
I think some people here would be able to easy improve the general design a
lot :-)
