This is a working LPG powered Datsun forklift with non-working side
shift. I hope that I may fix the SS. Everything else seems to work.

Price was $500.

I still have to pay and take delivery, so there may be surprises, but
I am hopeful that it will be a smooth transaction, as I know the
seller, which is a great guy.

Now THAT sounds more like an Iggy deal than that Yale!


I paid $300 for my Yale stand up rider 3,000# electric forklift. Three
stage mast, extend and tilt, no side shift. One of my few Iggy class
deals :/

As for Iggys side shift, it was probably disabled for the reasons I
noted and is simple to return to operation. I know one forklift where
the guy too the handle off the side shift control valve after nearly
tipping the forklift over a few times.
