3PH Mast Forklift.....Whats it worth??

[LD1]

Found one local for sale. It would be nice to have one, (I would have to add remotes). But I havent been looking for one so I dont know the market or what they even cost new. So any feedback would be great as to wether this is a good deal..........

Some pics...

He says its factory built, (allthough I dont know the brand), and 4000# rated. Wants $700

so probably worth the asking price but not a steal by any means??

It is worth whatever someone will pay for it! $700 is not unreasonable, I think that is what I paid for this one 10 years ago.

You definitely need a hydraulic top link to get the full advantage of the forks.

Yeah, it's hard to tell condition from the pics other than it's old enough that there appears to be no paint on it. Probably at least 30 years. Value less than 1/2 price of new. Make sure the cylinder rod is not pitted & the bottom is not overly corroded where it sits on the ground.
