This is a seriously good old-school Caterpillar forklift.
I’ve personally driven this machine around the yard and it is honestly hard to fault. For an older forklift, the condition and tightness of it is exceptional.
It has a 2.5 ton lift capacity, 3-stage container-spec mast and sideshift, but the big selling point here is simply how good the machine itself is.
The mast is extremely tight with no noticeable wear or play, the mast rollers are excellent, the chains are very good, tyres are excellent, brakes are excellent and everything is working exactly as it should.
It starts on the button, drives extremely well and feels like a forklift that has been properly minded throughout its life.
This is the type of machine that suits someone who wants a simple, dependable, old-school diesel forklift without complicated electronics.
If you need something that will go out and work day and night, rain, hail or snow, this is the sort of forklift you want. Turn the key, start it and get on with the job.
Specification includes:
• Caterpillar diesel forklift
• 2.5 ton capacity
• 3-stage container-spec mast
