GU Fork Lift

Description
For transporting objects and vehicles within base.
Les powerful / multitasking than a lot of available cranes, but small, cheap and easy to use.
Works with my standard small vehicle size: 19x13x9 blocks ~40 tons.

Easy to use:
-Works automatically - press one button to load/unload.
-Small - fits in 4x2x1 hanar. Connector placement synchronised.
-Easy to recreate in survival - project, weld, attach missing 4x pistons, 2x landing gear, 2x blining lights. Put them in correct groups. Set up light colour and blinking. Profit!

Safe:
-Blinking lights
-Automatic anchoring during loading/unloading
-Speed limited to 15km/h, with option to modify it.
-Small, so when Clang posess it, it will destroy only smart part of your base!

Pure vanilla. No scripts. Survival Ready.

I'm open for suggestions (both aesthetic and function)

@cptsavarus Thanks for great tip!

I hate it when stellar small builds like this don't get the attention they deserve! As great as massive pretty ships are, these useful and actual working construct are much nicer imo. Well done!

Stealing this concept, gonna have to create my own version. Will give credit for function to you though!

Nice!
+1 & Favourite just for flatbed concept.
Now this is something I have uses for!
Been meaning to design my own for ages but never got round to it somehow.
I look forward to seeing how this performs in action.

One suggestion that I can't see in the screenshots... landing gear in the bed so you can drop objects onto it & lock them in place there. This would stop the piston from wobbling around & potentially breaking off while driving with a load on board.
