Gran Fork Lift Option For 'Jeep' Universals
I recently purchased a Gran Fork Lift option for the CJ-2A. (Model GA2 - Serial Number 114) It is in pretty good shape and is only missing the hydraulic pump (the front mounted crankshaft pump similar to the ones used on the Monroe implement lifts) and the hydraulic tank. I have never seen another one of these units. I am interested in hearing from others who may have one of these or has some information regarding these units.

The unit has 3 forks. (Not sure why.):

The lift is powered by a hydraulically powered motor:

The motor runs to a gear reduction box that is attached to a chain gear driven spool. This spool is used to lower and raise the fork unit:

The unit is designed to allow for a 5-1/2 degree tilt from side to side:

It also can tilt 18 degrees front to rear with another cylinder:

Here are some pages from the period literature that came with the lift:
