I often find myself wanting to move heavy things (including machines). Soon I will be moving to a new shop with a lot of space.
I considered two options: installing a bridge-crane, and a getting a forklift. The forklift option seemed a lot cheaper and more versatile. One with pneumatic tires can go outside whereas a crane cannot. LPG is the only fuel I am considering right now.
My question is what should I look for in a used forklift? What should I avoid?
I often see used lifts with "small" hydraulic leaks - is this an indicator of more serious issues?
