I have recently purchased a used clark c500 s80 8000lbs capacity forklift and would like to know its weight I am guessing 13k or so. The forklift is not running and I must now move it to a different location a few miles down the road. I have a way of getting it on a truck but no way of getting it off. I have checked with a couple of the local tow truck drivers but they say it is to heavy for their rollbacks! The only other idea was to rent a large forklift and maybe just pick it up and drive it over to the new location which is only a mile or so. Sorry for the long winded ? Any help would be great. TIA Nick
