[SEL] OT Electric Fork Lift specs needed

I don't know the specifics for your machine but the lifting capacity should give you a close estimate.  Most 5000 lb forklifts weigh a little over 8000 lbs.  I suspect if you keep the same ratio and scale the numbers you will get a reasonable answer.  If the lift has a 3000 lb capacity then apply the 1.6:1 ratio and you get 4800 lbs.  I would round up for good measure and guess 5000 lbs.  

Others may pooh-pooh my suggestion but it is better than no specs at all.

> I am looking for a spec sheet for a Raymond Electric lift truck that belongs to my conservation club.  We will be moving to a new storage building soon and we have a farmer willing to to lift it on to our trailer to move.  Because it does not have enough power to ride up the ramps nor on rough ground we need help to put it on the trailer.  The farmer lives several miles away and doesn't want to make the drive if its too heavy for his tractor and loader.  The brand name is Raymond.  I have located their website but it only gives specs for how heavy a capacity it will lift not its actual weight.  Because it is very old but still works the only serial tag on it says: 851-W3RTT-610.  So not sure if that is the actual model number.
