I will be able to dig up the cash.
The main thing is figuring out how to get it out of there.
I believe this thing weighs about 6000 lbs, but it is without the 2000 lb battery pack, which leaves only 2 tons for me to haul 30 miles.
I know a guy who does a lot of odd work. He has a fishing charter, Bobcats, big trucks, etc. I think I'll ask him what it would cost me for him to hitch this thing up on a truck and trailer.
The forklift is 4' wide, 8' long and 9 and a half feet tall.
I figure once it is apart, I will have lots of bits I can sell as parts or for scrap metal. The boom on this thing goes up close to 20 feet. That's gotta be worth something. Otherwise I could permanently mount it in my garage to make oil changes real easy!
Would a sheet of thick plywood on my driveway be enough to spread the weight out and keep the lift from sinking into the asphalt? I always have to put down some scrap would whenever I jack up my car to keep from marking the driveway.
