I chained a 2000 lb weight to the counterweight to get through and all was fine, but I know full well 2wd vehicles have limitations.The All Terrain Lifter, Army System (ATLAS) is a 10,000 lb. I have been in a situation with a normal 10K dual air tire forklift where it took me an extra hour to get through a mildly muddy spot with 10K on the forks because I had to turn and I couldn't.

When I have to move and load things I usually have a schedule to keep and a $250/hr semi and driver waiting on me. I've done the same thing with a machine like that on the forks of a Skytrak and the Skytrak went right through it with total control. In fact, just a couple months ago I had my 9500 lb Hardinge SP42 on my 4k lb tilt deck trailer chained to my excavator and I pulled, turned around, then pushed that trailer with the deck sunk even with the mud. 5K lbs is a cake job for a crane or even just tilt deck trailer with a winch behind a 4x4 pickup, or if the truck won't get there, hook the trailer to an excavator or dozer and it will for sure get there and back out again. I have never needed a light capacity offroad forklift. Not getting completely stuck and being able to control and steer the machine are two totally different things. Try doing anything like that in a 14K lb tractor with loader.

I drove it out of the shop, through a mud hole with rubber mats tossed on it, over 200 yards of gravel in various conditions and loaded the lathe on a semi in the road. I bought my H80C last winter for scrap value, $2000, to load one machine on a semi. JCB rough terrain forklifts are a reliable, comfortable, versatile and easy-to-use solution for any challenging rehandling environment. I didn't want to troubleshoot it in 100 degree sun so I walked back to my shop, hopped on my Hyster H80C, drove it out into the rough field, picked up the whole damn 5500 lb skidsteer and drove it back into the shop. Last week my skidsteer died out in my field. Reasons to buy a used rough terrain forklift. 2019 Linde 7000 LB Solid Pneumatic Forklift With SS and 2 Stage Mast. Loaders on tractors suck.Ī 4x4 tractor is made for pulling stuff behind it. Clark Forklift, 10K lb capacity - excellent working condition, well maintained. A loader on a tractor is a conflict with what the tractor is actually designed to do. To do this safely, they need to be very sturdy and well-built which adds extra weight. This is because forklifts need to be able to lift a certain amount of weight to do their job effectively.

I can't imagine anyone who has ever used both suggest that the tractor would be better at forklifting or more versatile than a forklift. The average forklift weight is between 3,000 and 8,000 pounds (900 to 3,600 KG), depending on the model and type. I'm a bit shocked to see any recommendations for forks on a tractor here.
