Need to get rid of an old forklift

[yamadog 426]

I have a friend that wants to get rid of an old Clark propane forklift. Location is in Pacoima at a trucking business. I had it running and parked it in the lot for access. Stoped running after I parked it. I think it is out of propane. Any advice on how to dispose of it?

There was a member looking for one on the cheap to help with some type of club….will find the post

I was wrong, they were looking for enclosed trailers. Could've sworn someone had a similar post looking for a forklift for a non-profit…..

I'm looking to buy 2 enclosed trailers for a non profit I'm a director at. We take 60 6-9 grade boys to Lake Mohave every Easter break for a week on the water ( eastercaravan.com ). We currently have a 40' container to store all of our equipment and looking to make it more mobile with 2-...

Those old Landa’s were fucking stout little pressure washers. Trouble is finding parts nowadays.

Ibhsbz is first in line, he contacted me by pm and wants both of them.

If he doesn’t get it, I will take the forklift. I have the means to transport it as well..

I picked up a 5000 lb 1973 Clark electric in 1992 for $800. That beat up old POS worked every day for the next 15 years. I had to replace a couple of hoses and do the brakes, but it was a tough piece of equipment.

When the battery died in 2007, I gave it away and bought a 5000 lb propane Tusk with a Nissan engine. I kept it when I shut down my business, and installed pallet racks on the ends of my shop. It's really nice to have, I keep the floor space neat by placing stuff on the racks. It doesn't get used much, it just turned over 300 hours.

Call a scrap yard. They will likely come get it and give you some bux.

So fyi years ago maybe 5 I worked at an aerospace company and we had an old beater forklift in the parking lot taking up a space. Told my guys to load it up and they took it to a local metal recycle yard and they took it and paid them for it by the pound.

As a last resort

Small world! My shop is right across the street! I'd grab that forklift but we currently have 5

@FCT can have it….the wife spent the evening explaining to me how a forklift in the backyard probably wouldn’t end well for me.

 

[Waterjunky]

You say that LB but I have a hyster of about the same timeframe. My wife gave me a hard time about buying it for $800 running in decent shape. That is the most useful thing..... I use it fairly regularly around my place.

Think carefully on saying no.....

Forklifts are great for home use. Someone will grab it.

Forklifts are great for home use.

If your property is covered in concrete. I borrowed a neighbors forklift and didn't put any thought into the possibility I would get it stuck. I got it stuck, loaded, in the back yard which appeared to be "hard packed" dirt. Wasted a day of my weekend getting it unstuck. They also aren't as fantastic as one would think for moving things in and out of a home garage or shop unless you have tall ass ceilings and doors.

I have one and I have a dirt lot. It is the best thing for moving my boat, enclosed trailer in my yard, changing the tires on my buggy, putting up Christmas lights, lifting the kids ETC. It does have pneumatic tires instead of solid as this one shows.
