Just added this little gem to my arsenal of rolling stock. Price was very good, it was local, seller appears trustworthy.
It is a S70EBCS ("boxcar special" with the high-stacked counterweight for short wheelbase...even has vertical exhaust to save space so the inline 6 will fit inside there).
I'd take that to be a 7000# forklift if I think I understand Hyster's rating scheme.
However data plate indicates 5000 lbs at 24" load center....so wouldn't this just be a S50? Or am I missing something else?
This is more of a discussion point...I really don't plan to pick up anything near 7000# with it. Probably add a longer set of forks...it really has short ones on there*.
* which would be ideal if handling crates/skids/pallets inside a boxcar. I am not planning that type of work
