I've been selling the Escalera for while now and you can find me at a lot of the Pinball shows. Call me or email me with any questions you might have about them and definitely check out my website where I demo moving a pin and using the forklift accessory.

You need to check out my website flipnoutpinball.com. I show videos of me loading a game into the back of my truck by myself using the pinball plate attachment, something I developed with Escalera. I also show lifting the game so you can easily remove the legs. I also use it to lift the game if I put the legs on first. I simply roll the Escalera under the game and crank it up to install the back legs.
As to your concern about the weight of the forklift model, I have the solution to that as well. I sell the LH-3 lift hitch accessory so that you can easily transport the forklift model using the hitch receiver on your vehicle. I use this and have hauled my Escalera all over the country to pinball shows at 80 mph. Its extremely easy to use and makes transport this model very easy.

This shows the Escalera with the forklift option lifting the game from the front to put the legs on. Its hard to see in the pictures but the game is off the ground with about 6 inch clearance between the bottom of the leg and the floor. I put the tape measure directly under the leg to help show the space but it didn't really do the job.

Silver spinner wanted a video from start to finish but I haven't had time to do something that complete so imagine that the front legs were installed with the game upright and then simply lowered on it on the front legs like normal. Then I slide the forklift with pinball plate under it and crank it up so that the back legs lift off the floor. Install the back legs and you are done. Slide it into place and play.

The pinball plate is what I call it. It's an extended plate. Longer than the forks at 42 inches. I designed it so it would fit between the legs of a pinball.
