I will be on vacation from March 13-22 so you have to work around that.

Clark GPS20 4,000 pound Industrial Warehouse Forklift Lift Truck LPG. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.

I bought this forklift from the city of Columbus Ohio last year at an auction. It runs good and has low hours - it’s a very tight machine. I am only selling it because I bought a different one that suits my needs better (lifts higher and has side shift). I see forklifts with 8,000 - 14,000 hours selling for about what I am asking and this one only has 2,345.9 hours on it. The hour meter works and because it’s such a tight machine, I believe it’s accurate.

The good: tires are very good with lots of tread. Seat is nice - no rips. Runs, drives, lifts, brakes work properly, horn works. Comes with LPG tank as shown plus an additional tank (empty). If you don’t need the tanks, I will knock $200 off the price.

The bad. It’s cold blooded - it wants to stall out on cold days unless you give it some throttle. After a couple minutes, it runs properly. It’s less of an issue in the summer, but when it’s 20 degrees outside - it takes a while. I don’t know if that’s normal because I never owned a propane powered vehicle before. I changed the spark plugs, but it still does it. Also, the steering cylinder drips. It’s very mild but I don’t want to hide anything. I bought a rebuild kit, but haven’t installed it. I also bought a kit for the control valve, even though it’s not leaking. Lastly - as seen in the last photo - the little fence is bent. I bought it this way and I’m selling it this way. Looks like a fairly easy fix with some heat and a sledgehammer, but I am not fooling with it.

Local pickup only in Sheffield Ohio 44054. I can assist loading, but it’s a residential address, so I cannot accommodate a semi with a 53’ trailer. A pickup truck with about a 30’ trailer can navigate my driveway. This thing weighs 7,930 pounds
