[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6743496, member: 2119"] That is a consideration. The forklift turns tighter in confined areas and is nippier but the manitou will do the job. Having two old ones means that if one breaks down we can resort to the other to finish the loading. It's all tyres and batteries though, and insurances, shed room etc. The manitou is 30 years old and not that reliable. It's transmission oil leaked into the rad. Couldn't get a new rad with heat exchanger or a repair so fitted an independent air cooled oil cooler. Not sure it's really up to spec for cooling the oil but it's been OK so far. Probably on borrowed time though. Transmission sounds terrible on the road. A recon engine might be £3k. And it's back in action doing a job that a £30k machine would do, even if a bit more slowly. Just feels like a waste to weigh it in, but I have a shed full of stuff like that and the list is getting longer! [/QUOTE]
