About a year ago I didn't bid on a forklift that sold at a local

It needed new batteries but otherwise was probably fine. I don't have

Having moved one from Arkansas to Iowa, I can tell you that it isn't a
task to be taken on lightly. Particularly without a lift-deck.
I'm guessing the unit weighs around 900lbs, is approximately 7' long,
3' deep and 4' high.
The machine is on good quality casters, so it'll roll like a dream,
but it's extreme weight makes it a royal pain in the butt to move.
