Free: 2 Fork Lifts, need service

We have 2 fork lifts here at work that we need gone. They are free with the only condition being that you have the means to get them loaded and off of the premises. They will not move well under their own power and I'm 95% sure neither one will drive up onto a trailer on it's own. We're located in Livonia.

One is a Yale LP Gas powered unit. Has power steering and is low profile so it will fit in the back of a semi truck to unload at a dock. Has had some recent service but was not fixed properly. It leaks hydraulic fluid and the power steering works when it feels like it. It runs, but is way down on power, will move but can not make it up even the shallowest inclines. Also needs a muffler as it's really loud.







Other one is an old battery powered unit. The batteries are huge, and don't hold a charge well. The unit will move but very intermittently, seems like either the batteries are almost done or there is a bad electrical connection. Was used in a carpet store for many years and we have the attachment to handle carpet rolls. We also have the charger to go with it.







I'm sure if someone knew what they were doing they could make these into decent machines. We can't seem to find anyone reliable to fix the gas powered machine for a reasonable price otherwise we'd keep it. As of right now they both are in the way so we'd rather just get rid of them if someone wants either of them and can haul them outta here.
 
Interested, sent info to people that could possibly pick them up.

can you PM me your email address?
 
Nice of you to offer these up. We have one of the old Yale's here and they beat the crap out of it everyday. I know we are on a PM schedule with all our High lows and that one keeps on ticking.

I am sure someone here could get it going. Cannot beat Free!
 
if all else fails call a scrapper they will be there quick

That was our next avenue. Didn't know if they'd take the electric one because of the huge batteries though. We've called 5-6 different forklift companies and no one wants these damn things, even if we just gave it to them.
 
I'd normally say first person to put cash in my hand gets it, but in this case first person to show up and successfully load these is who gets them :)
 
just letting everyone know i got a truck ready i'm just waiting to get a go ahead from him so i can get them out of there today.
