TCI

OBS-Addiction97 · Jan 11, 2022

I picked this machine up recently. It’s a TCI Forklift. After serving for some time online I can’t find any info on it.

It has 4x4 Dana 70 axles, Ford 4spd, shuttle drive and an Isuzu 3.9 diesel.

I was wondering if anyone here has ever seen one?

Looks home made AF. I love it.

It’s not, it has an id tag that’s dam near gone. I got it off market place.

Saw a few other for sale on there, but otherwise can’t find any info on them whatsoever.

Yeah, runs great and works good. Leaks like a stick pig, but it all works as it should. It was rigged when I got it so I’ve been fixing odds and ends.

I picked up the back of my F-super duty with it.

The P/o said he lifted 7k with it, but that’s pushing it imo. It’s a powerful pump on it though regardless.

So did you say it was jerry rigged? Is that bucket you have on the side used as the oil pan.

Nah, the darn thing took 5 gallons of hydro oil to read full.

So there isn't anything wrong with it, just want to stay ahead of things?

Looks an awful lot like the old M4K forklift we used to move Conex's around, though ours articulated in the center.
You might be able to find a old TM if you can pin down what model it is - judging from the paint its seen some time in the service.
