Hello everyone,

Glad to find this great site!

As the title states, I own and continue to use a  Lull / Oliver model 55 Hi-Lift loader.  I purchased it from another builder as a basket case in 1994.  I never have had any thought of restoring it since we use it on the job.  Yes we do get some comments on its age but shrug them of since this machine is the ideal size for confined space jobsites where lifting to 22' is required.

Back then, Lull Engineering Corp. used Oliver Super 55's set in a reverse configuration as the foundation that they built their future of rough terrain construction forklifts on.

For us, this amazing piece of engineering has done the lifting work of two employees since 1994 and continues to be faithful.   Last year I did need to have the hydraulic pump (Vickers &quot;vane&quot; style) rebuilt.  Not bad after 52 plus/minus years of service !!

Just as a longshot...............does anyone have any info on these machines ???

Since the power plant is the Super 55 chassis, I'll surely be picking your brains for help.

Thanks so much and happy to be here!
