I might buy a used electric fork lift at a good price, but it needs a
battery. Can anyone suggest a supplier of affordable replacement 36v
forklift batteries?

I need to keep the price of the replacement battery cheap or else I
cannot afford the deal and will just keep renting lifts when I need
one. A rebuilt or used one in good shape would be fine. The lift is a:

Allis Chalmers 5000lb fork lift, model ACE50FB, s/n AJP517191

Here is the ebay add about it:

Thanks in advance for your help.

A place I worked 20 years ago had Allis Chalmer 5000 lb trucks, and the
electrician stayed inside the electrical panels on them just about all the
time, repairing or replacing something constantly, it seemed. Something
about the plugging circuits, if I remember correctly. We used box clamps on
the units, and the hose reels and hoses kept ME busy with leaks. We went to
CAT units, and things went much better. Take this for what it's worth to
you.

Call your local industrial battery supplier. They might be able to come
up with a weak but usable battery that they took out of a truck that
gets used 8 hours a day. I assume that you would not use the forktruck
more than minutes per day. They could probably look up the battery size
out of a book.

Remember that the weight of the battery is part of the counterweight,
and if you install a smaller battery you may need to add more
counterweight to keep the same lift capacity.

try a local industrial battery business in your area.. they probably
just rebuilt batterirs all the time and can get what you want.... as in
a few years you gonna have to take it back and get it rebuilt again...

I just junked three electric trucks, one had a good 36v battery. A
guy in our building wanted it for $50, but he hasn't paid for it yet.
Location is a very important factor. This battery is in Cincinnati,
OH. Where you at?

I'm in Atlanta, 30084 zip code. I'll check and see what freight would
be to ship it. Forward Air is surprizingly cheap for big things, but
I've never priced something this heavy with them. I have to fly up to
Minneapolis on March 8, so I could route my return through Cincinnati
and perhaps drive it to ATL, but I'll have to check th etruck rental
and see if it makes sense.

Do you know the dimensions of your battery and how it compares to
mine?

Thanks for the offer and I'll let you know the out come of my shipping
survey.

Here are the specs on my fork lift battery. Would the one you have fit this opening?

I'm interested in buying your 36v fork lift battery if it will fit my
truck. Here are the specs:

battery type: 18-85-23
voltage: 36v
dimensions: 38.5 x 26.75 x 22.63
fits Allis Chalmers 5000lb fork lift, model ACE50FB, s/n AJP517191

Will your battery fit in this opening?

i am in Atlanta, GA. I checked with Forward Air freight lines and they
will ship it from Cinci tp ATL for a reasonable fee, so we might have
a match if your battery will fit. How old is it? When was it last in
use? How long will a fork lift run off it when it is fully charged?
How much do you want for it? Do you have a forklift you can use to
place it on a truck?
