Question:

how fast can the following go:?

*forklift*cement mixer*dump truck*excavatorno special models, just the average forms of these

Answer:

This is a unusual speed question! I was expecting Corvette or EVO or something like that! Most large trucks in the U.S. have a limited top speed of 70 to 80MPH. Their Governor that limited fuel to the engine when reaching a certain speed. But a Fully loaded Dump Truck or Cement Mixer would be hard pressed to get up to that speed. They will eventually reach it, but it will be a long time. The governor can be removed however, but if I was driving something that heavy, I don't think I would dare top it out! :) I guess I'm just a chicken. A Forklift, I have absolutely no idea. The one my Pop's used to drive did not have a Speedometer, but I would guess it got up to about 15MPH. An excavator, also no clue. Most construction pieces when driving on the highway only are doing around 25 to 30MPH, which is why I hate driving through construction zones.
*Claps hands* Are we setting up a race here!?!?
