Fork pocket machine skids- bad idea?

I don't see a problem with doing that. But my prefered method of lifting machines is from the top where possible.
 
You can cut pockets out of the frame, and add boxes for the forks to go through, no tipping, no sliding.
 
This just popped up on Facebook marketplace and I'm headed out to look at it. Seller's description reads:
Super clean 4x4 all terrain diesel caterpillar forklift , Perkins diesel motor. Runs great, has 8,000 lb lift capacity. This forklift you can drive anywhere you won’t get stuck. Delivery available.

It's caterpillar V80D, which Google confirms is a legit 4WD forklift, something I wasn't aware existed except for telehandlers. The seller says it will fit through a 7ft garage door. If it's everything I think it is, it's perfect and I'll probably bring it home.
