New toy

[North Idaho Wolfman]

Acquired a new toy, needs some TLC but it should really help me out moving things around.
Yale 5000lb Forklift

I think I see a scratch on it.....

Hope you got some forks with it!

 

[GeoHorn]

Congrats! How is it powered…. ?

 

[Lil Foot]

Cool!
I'm guessing propane?

Yes long heavy forks, they were just off for transport.

Propane Mazda engine, I think, service manual is on it's way.

Yep your right propane, tank is on it's way
Much cheaper to order the tank via Amazon than anywhere else.
Pneumatic tires and there is chains for it too.

I didn't think it was too bad of a deal for $750.

It looks to be a 1983 or better model.

Just a couple, but that let me get it for the scratch and dent sale price of $750.

Had that same model only mine was a few years earlier. Pneumatic tires for off road is a big plus. Triple mast with side shift is pretty nice too. Nice score!

Thanks!
I really want a rough terrain model, but those are like gold up here!

NICE, even has side shift, lucky guy ! I have an Allis-Chamlers Buda diesel powered ,same weight class probably 2nd best thing I've ever bought !
Be careful driving on 'hard dirt'....some isn't as HARD as it needs to be and getting a 7000# Fl out of a silly 3" depression isn't fun.....
WORSE job on them..... changing the fan belt !
Doing brakes.front tires is easy IF you make a simple 'tire lift'..though realigning the bull gear to pinion can be 'fun'
My Fl goes up 9', the mezzanine was 10'........ I blame the tape measure.....

Gosh Wolfman - that’s not scratch and dent price…that’s closer to scrap price…

Did you buy the seller a beer, or the seller’s widow dinner first?!?!

Great find - hoping you can get it more workable easily.

You see a lot of old Yale lifts still doing their jobs everyday!

 

[Freeheeler]

I wouldn't advertise that price too loudly, the cops will come after you for stealing it. Are you gonna paint it orange ?
