[RE-wrenches] Battery Powered Electric Forklifts

[Parrish, Peter]

We are looking to purchase a light-duty forklift for use in our Solar and Plumbing labs. We are lifting less than 1,000 lbs. up 10'-4" to a mezzanine.

We have found the following: Clark 3 Wheeler Electric, capacity 3,000 lbs., lift 16 ft., 2005, 90 day or 50 mile warranty.

Does this sound like a good deal?

If so and we want to seriously consider this puppy, how should I check out the batteries?

Any help would be appreciated.
