 Topic: AC Forklift Question
Posted: 05 Aug 2016 at 2:52pm |
This is coming up at an auction near me in SE MI: 1973 AC rough terrain fork lift
Do any of you know what model it may be and what AC tractor it was built on?
There are pictures at:

In 1973 they were only building 500 and 600 series forklifts with 4 cylinder gas engines.

By 1973, the A-C rough terrain forklifts were not based on a farm tractor. Didn't see an A-C forklift on the pictures.

Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed

One forklift is a Warner Swasey and the other is a Mastercraft

one auction company I know, (they are die hard green people) but had an AC forklift
on their lot they used for years....I finally got it out of them why? they said it had more lifting power than anything else they could get like it, including green!

I think that one you showed, just has the AC mast, it don't look like any AC forklift I've ever seen. a lot of masts were interchangeable...but some had to have a few mods.
