Allis-Chalmers ACOP 30 C - NEED INFO

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hey everyone... 
I am cleaning out an old warehouse, and I came accross an old lift truck with a decal that says "ACOP 30 C". As I know absolutely nothing about these things, I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on what I have here...

The model # is: ACOP 30 BCA 24V
Serial #: ALQ522313
Attachments: 42 Forks
Type: F
with 3848.5 Hours

I also found a battery charger with this.

Like I said, I have no idea about these things. For all I know, it has been sitting in a corner for at least 5 years, but worked within the last 10 years. I was hoping to find out if this unit would be worth trying to fix? Should I scrap it? Should I try to sell it?

I appreciate all help offered on this. I can get pics as soon as I have a better lightsource in the warehouse...

	If it has no major failures great. I'm assuming it's electric so It is probably ACE 30. If the battery has been sitting that long probably junk. They generally have ge controls in them if it still has an Allis can try adding water and charging the battery and see if it'll work.
	There are 3 ways to do job GOOD, FAST, CHEAP. YOU MAY CHOOSE 2. If its FAST & CHEAP it won't be GOOD, if it's GOOD & CHEAP it won't be FAST, and if its GOOD & FAST it won't be CHEAP!!!!

	Is this a stand up machine because 24v is odd for a forklift.
