Forklifts.....school me

NOCK NOCK:
Looking to buy a used piece of equipment that has forks, and will lift 2000ish pounds, most likely a forklift with pneumatic tires, but considering skid steer and tractors. (will be used very randomly to lift logs off trailer/onto mill, on mostly hardpacked gravel, some dirt) Budget is 10K or less, hoping for $6-8k.

Is a forklift with pneumatic what I should be looking at?    Also, small quarters, so do not want a large machine.

PS, I know next to nothing about any of these.  :chuckle:

I’d go skid steer, used a bobcat t190 for just that thing. They’re not cheap anymore but you’ll end up using it more than you think. You’ll end up with a snowplow,log grapples, flail mower….

If you are looking for a used unit  check out:  bar none auctions.

I'd go skidsteer as well.  A forklift WILL get stuck on gravel/dirt.

Back when I was running a forklift loading trucks in a warehouse we used to get a forklift stuck every time we had to load/unload in the parking lot
