My latest acquisition:
5000 lb Hyster forklift. Triple stage mast, about 16 foot lift and side shift. Good condition except as noted below.
FREE was a very good price, this stuff just finds me.
So far I have $141 in it, just for delivery. I would have hauled it myself, except that the only way out of the building was the loading dock, 3 feet above grade. I tried the Jedi levitation trick, but that didn't work, so I hired a local tow company with a big rollback wrecker.
It has some kind of a oil in coolant issue, I'm guessing the hydraulic oil heat exchanger in the radiator. About $120 and a few hours work to fix that. I'll know what the problem actually is in a few hours once I do a pressure test on the system.
But the real question is: Why does anybody need 3 forklifts?
OK, this one's going up for sale when I get it fixed. These are going for around $3200 in this area.
