One covers their Ag line, while the other is on the Construction and Industrial line. I have a pair of pretty good books on A-C. No capital investment, no repair bills, no fuel to buy.)Īnyway, This particular forklift was probably closer to a 78' model and it went for about $2500. Absolute most profitable business model possible. Guys in a hurry to get loaded see you running a forklift and they wave cash as you tear ass around loading your new junk before somebody bigger and meaner throws you off the machine. 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.
