See thats my worry about an electric lift, I don't know how to check the battery on them besides charging it, then running it till its dead. And at most places you can't do that when you go to look at it, that would be tough. But I know you are honest about your machines so you tell me its actual condition.
The more I have looked, the more I think i need one of those boxcar specials. With the "free lift" when the forks get to the top of the mast before the mast starts going up. I get in sea containers with many crates stacked to the top and will need to be able to get them down before moving them.
But Spunky actually is in pretty nice looking shape.
I don't understand, most every forklift that I have seen has Terrible paint, or was just re-painted. What do these people do to these things? They must constantly run into things.
Heck I have a 5 year old New Holland skid loader that still looks great, and I go through the woods, brush, digging, go through everything with it and its barely scratched!
Who knows
I Still like that CAT lift though. Just out of curiosity, can you haul that one yourself or is it too heavy?
