Hi there...I'm looking to get a small forklift for moving stuff around my small garage and shop. I have a small one car garage(the actual machine shop area) attached to the house, and a 6 car garage/fab shop out back. I'm starting to collect enough bigger old machines this is getting to be a necessity (I used to be able to move anything I needed when Dad was around, but I lost him a couple years ago).
So anyway, there is a Clarke C20B for sale local for 2k OBO. I think the 2000lb capacity should be fine, basically because I don't really want a physically larger machine. The driveway between the garage and shop is blacktop, with a step up into the big garage. Until I get new blacktop I figure I would build up ramp of some sort. it has 8ft high doors with 10ft ceiling.
So checking seals, and the condition of the motor (LP) is obvious to me, but any insight into what else on this particular type of machine? Is the price reasonable? Ad says "perfect working order. Comes with 2 tanks ready to work".
Thanx for any input.
