how much does forklift weigh
Internal combustion engine, counterweight type forklifts typically weigh twice their rated capacity. A weight of 9800 pounds or more is very likely. The data plate(if present) should tell the weight. If you have the model and serial #, your local Nissan lift dealer should be able to find the information. 7,800 pounds is closer to the weight of a 3,000 or 4,000 pound capacity truck.
