i see machine movers with old equipment here too with nice paint and looked/ran great
i have a few customers that love the machines theyve used for 30 years
i have 1 guy whos machine is in my shop for pretty much and entire hydraulic system rebuild
its an old namco stand up he said hes had it since it was his dads place and he was a teenager
i keep tellin him it would be cheaper and a better idea to get somethin newer and he said he wants it to run until he dies lol
i told i can do the best i can but i cant make any promises
it looks like itll be around another decade

but 1 truck that looks classic would be the older clarks with the chromed intakes on the engine doors (i think that was the truck loader?or early c500s?)
i thought that was an interesting look and made it a lil flashier for machines of that era
but thank god the c500 has started to fade out
when i started forklifts 10 years ago every other machine was a c500 now i see much less of them

odd design has to go to the towmotor that the operator sat next to the engine not on top of it lol (i believe that is the lt35)
the last 1 in my area got traded in 2 years ago lol
