What's this forklift worth?

It's a perkins diesel engine'd triple extension (over 5m it would seem.)

The caretaker bloke in my yard is looking to buy it for it's good reach, so want to give him a decent price, but not rip myself off - also as he's happy to let me use it/do stuff for me with it if I do sell Smile

Glow plugs don't work (bit of easy start to start, fine once it's run for a little bit) and it's a bit smoky, but again, not too bad when warmed up. Q plated, though I don't have docs and it definitely hasn't got current MOT etc. Generally tatty.
No side shift.
A bit under 2k hours on the clock, but suspect it's a fair bit more than that. Must be fairly old - how old, I'm not sure.
The main brake works fine, the hand brake makes a barely perceptible difference.

GDP060 is the model, but there's a lot of iterations of that, of course.

Or, if anyone wants the ultimate revenge for "I just moved your bike so I could park my car there" - talk to me, picks up cars easily Very Happy

Fuck knows but call a local plant hire place / used plant seller and ask what they will give.

Cheers - was considering that, find somewhere selling similar and ask them.

Aslo might give Yale a shout and see if they can tell me what year it is at least.

Price it around that and surely you can't go wrong?

2 or 3 grand depending on condition.

Cheers.

Mine definitely looks more knackered than that*, though I think it is a similar model (the newer GDP060 looks different).
And yes, I think the reach should add a reasonable bit to the price as it's fairly rare and useful for some people**. Q plate may or may not.

*just thinking that if I do end up selling elsewhere, a fresh coat of paint probably worth the half-day's work getting it looking shiny.

** for instance, people that like to sit their friends on it, lift them up to the ceiling and leave them there Razz
