How about either a hay rake or a silage rake?

I don't think pitchfork is correct, nor forklift which in later era came to
mind..I also suspect it maybe had no real separate name...but maybe I've
looked at too many inventories.
Moving to 1002
I believe the tool you are talking about is the (Exact same, minimal
technical advance) same long handled, forked tongued item that brings down
items in TOY STORES (this from a mother of two decades, three children
insisting she sees the item WAYYYY up above at Toys R Us).
I am, however, glib this my sound, sure that it's origin is very old and it
has a name that we all may have seen on an inventory and not understood...I
don't have any inventories of large merchants (ie, those with
warehouses)....but maybe the tool was there.
