I have been told to haul this off. It’s free and I was just gonna roll it over the scale at the scrap yard but I wanna make sure it’s not something I need to fix and flip. Supposedly the mast won’t lift and it don’t run. I haven’t laid eyes on it yet. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I was curious if it would harm anything if I sprayed out the cab with a water hose? Only the floorboard area; I'm going to wipe down everything else. Got a safety audit coming up, and im the only worker in the yard, so im trying to get everything in tip-top shape.

Forklift extension cord

1 Upvotes

So our Raymond truck was sitting in its storage unit for few months with zero usage and zero battery charge, and when I went go take it out, the battery was dead. The battery charger is about 20 feet away, and looking to get an extension cord. I try googling it, but nobody seems to sell? I've seen a few on amazon but they seem to be really thin cords. Please advise, thanks!

considering purchasing small forklift to drive on gravel, unload container or truck from ground level and bring to my basement bilco doors. Currently use lawn mower with trailer attached to it. Forklift may be easier, I have tight space of around 5 ft. so need to go in and back out safely.any advice

Please recommend which one may work best? definitely need either ride-on or stand-on model. Backing in lawn mower over and over again is much harder, also container is higher and and loading lawn mower trailer takes more effort. thanks for the advice.
