About this machine
This Bristol RS80 is a used diesel forklift — sometimes referred to as a heavy-lift truck or industrial lift truck — built for handling extremely heavy loads in demanding industrial, port, or heavy manufacturing environments. Bristol is a recognised manufacturer of high-capacity lift equipment, particularly known for producing the Rigger Special series of heavy-duty forklifts designed for industrial and construction applications.
The machine's headline specification is its rated lifting capacity of 80,000 pounds at a 24-inch load centre, placing it firmly in the ultra-heavy-lift category. The mast is a two-stage low-profile design offering 102 inches of lift height with a lowered height of 108 inches, giving a practical balance between elevated reach and travel clearance. The 96-inch forks are equipped with a fork positioner, allowing the operator to adjust fork spacing hydraulically without leaving the cab — a significant productivity advantage when handling varied load widths at this scale.
Power comes from a Detroit Diesel engine, a well-regarded powerplant with a long track record in heavy industrial and commercial applications. Drive is transmitted through an Allison three-speed powershift transmission, which provides smooth, controllable gear changes under load — an important characteristic when manoeuvring loads of this magnitude. The machine runs on solid pneumatic tyres, suited to hard, relatively level surfaces while providing some cushioning and durability for outdoor or yard use.
The forklift is fitted with two removable counterweights each rated at 15,000 pounds, together totalling 30,000 pounds of counterbalancing mass. One of these counterweights is currently welded to the chassis and can be detached if required. The machine records approximately 3,000 hours of use and is described as having had a full service carried out. A boom and stand are available as optional accessories at additional cost. The forklift is located in Illinois, USA, and listed at $160,000 FOB Chicago, IL.
