If you need something shifting, then the 25th century equivalent of a forklift is the power loader. This is a large exo-skeleton with hydraulic claws at the end of two arms, and the ability to lift very large weights*. Designed by the Guiyang Hu\u00e1ngl\u00f3ng Hydraulics Development Co., this type can be found in docks, ports, spaces stations and on board larger ships in the cargo hold.<\/p>\n

Ably sculpted by David Sheff, this is a multipart model which is 3D printed in grey resin, and has just arrived on the website in the growing 28mm SF range. It comes complete with a separate power-supply\/APU which connects to the back for charging.<\/p>\n
