Processing technicians used a Hyster forklift to remove Engine #3 from space shuttle Atlantis.

In Orbiter Processing Facility-2 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians used a Hyster forklift to remove Engine #3 from space shuttle Atlantis. The engine will be transported to the Engine Shop for possible future use. Each of the three space shuttle main engines is 14 feet long and weighs 7,800 pounds. Removal of the space shuttle main engines is part of the Transition and Retirement work that is being performed in order to prepare Atlantis for eventual display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida.
