The ROOK is the perfect machine to clear vehicles or obstructions from the roadway, so they can be cleared by plows! #buffalo #blizzard2022
@nyspolice It’s just a skid steer with forks on the front. Private contractors could provide at least 50 to speed this process up.
@nyspolice Also a great way to get a bunch of insurance claims
@nyspolice The last thing I would want to pick up a car is a skid steer with a front loader & extended forks driven by a State Trooper. There's no telling what those forks did to the underside of those vehicles, especially dragging out a Ford Fusion with the hooks on the fork ends.
@nyspolice Imagine: you leave your brand new car on street. And this forklift does aging for you. Very thoughtful NYS Police.
@nyspolice I knew a concrete finisher who used to do that if a car was blocking where they needed to pour. Made for some exciting times.
@nyspolice Why not have a new attachment made to lift the vehicles by the tires?
@nyspolice This is so cool. Why aren’t there more of these in the world.
@nyspolice God I’m so glad I don’t live up there anymore…
