I am looking to purchase a used warehouse forklift, and would like to get feedback on Allis Chalmers equipment. I have an opportunity to purchase a used, rough, but running Allis Chalmers. Research and discussions with others that are not new to forklifts indicated that although Allis Chalmers is well established, the equipment is old and could be difficult to obtain parts for. I do not have the make and model, but below are the facts:

Light duty capacity, probably 4,000.
Stored outside in FL
Running
One tire chewed up/ missing chunk.
Sub- $1000 price.
Our needs= very low hours per week; light handling.

Thank you in advance for your opinion!
