I have been poking around for a bigger lift. (8Klb+) and I keep running into gas and propane models with flathead engines. What is the story? Why are they so common? Where they cheap to build or just run forever? Some of the ones I looked at are still good runners with plenty of pneumatic tires so can drive out into the lot to load at really low prices. Should I hold out for a modern powerplant?
Also found a diesel or two. Is it worth it in a forklift? This machine will only be accasionally used.
