replacement mast for clark forklift

(OP)
Does anyone know where i can find a three stage mast for a mid 70's model clark c500 y40. We have a two stage installed, but need to access higher racking. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

RE: replacement mast for clark forklift

If in the US.
This a serious alteration/modification to fork truck and is frowned on by OSHA and sometimes state authorities.
If such a modification or alteration is done it has to have a factory stamp of approval and then could only be done by an authorized service station that was equipped to do the required test under load, no small task.  
I would not attempt this on any fork truck. High mast trucks are high mast trucks alone.   

I would give you the name and number of a person that did a similar modification except it would bring back too many painful memories of his stay in the hospital and walking with a limp.

I don’t have the standards or codes that apply to this , hopefully someone has the numbers of the standards.

PS:
I forgot to add that the fine for the company would have bought a passel of high mast trucks, probably gold plated with fancy wheels.
