Default WTB: Forklift

I know this is kind of off the wall but what the hell.

I am looking for a Fork Lift for my company and trying to see if anyone knows someone I can contact.


We need it to lift 11000 lbs and it needs to be able to go on crete/gravel.

We are going to look at one today but if anyone has any insight let me know.

New/Used doesnt matter

Price range we are willing to spend is $30000-$50000


Thanks
G

Go to the equipment trader site through auto trader. Also check around for specialized small to mid sized forklift dealers in your metro area. We have alot here around Dallas.

I know that you need to put some VHT on that "Hairdryer" belt of yours!

When did you learn how to street race BTW?

Propane? Diesel? Electric?

I'm assuming propane of diesel...

There is a place off of Beltway 8, North of I10 I'd try. I'll have to check the name of the place to be sure.

I used to work for Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift... Not sure if they sell direct, but you can call and ask. They're on the west belt at Hammerly.

We have two Clark forklifts at our family business. Mini-me and "The Hulk". We've had the big one since the late 80's, only minor problems out of it. We are on our second small one , but it gets worked constantly. Can't go wrong with one of those.

With two you can get into some tight spots.





We've lifted some INSANELY heavy stuff with the big one. A few times we had to load like 20 people on the back of the big one to keep the rear wheels on the ground.
