Used it before and after the sale, and I liked it, but when it sold I was outbid.(The rule at this particular annual event is basically "Your consigned/newly purchased forklift is fair game till the sale is over and everybody has their stuff loaded.". I used a little air tire A-C at a consignment sale a few years ago. But most seem to have solid tires which I have been told I don't want for outside use or for on dirt.
It seems like numerous forklifts are on the market at any one time so I don't feel pressure to buy this one. I am slowly finishing a shop in the back yard and will be moving machines from the garage to the shop.įrom what I can tell, Allis Chalmers is out of business but the seller assures me the forklift “has a real simple Nissan 4 cylinder engine, (and) parts are readily available".Īny wisdom to share about this machine, the price, or if it sounds like it is what I am looking for? It would be used in my home shop to move equipment around the shop, dismantle equipment by lifting heavy parts off, and to load and unload equipment I might by or sell. I know close to nothing about forklifts but have it in my head I need one. Discription: 1988, triple stage mast, side shifter, automatic transmission, power steering, air tires, 4000 lbs. I am considering buying an Allis Chalmers forklift, $4,200.
