I just picked up this Hyster H70B forklift for $1500.00. It runs, but smokes like crazy due to worn rings. I'm going to take it right to a job site to use, then when that job is done bring it back to our place for an engine rebuild. The lift looks old, I am thinking late 1950s or early 1960s.

What am I looking at, weight wise for this lift? The person that I want to moveit with his tilt bed is worried that it is too heavy for him. I am thinking between 10,000 to 12,000 lbs. for this lift. Anyone have a more definitive weight?
