Sanderson sb55 forklift weight

[Will_505]

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a Sanderson (what I think to be) SB55. Got a few questions... I'm paying £1300 for it all works fine apart from a bloke hydraulic brake line should be easy fix. Do you guys think it is worth it as these are getting pretty hard to come by now. It does have the engine cover as a side note lol just not in the pictures so do you think it's worth £1300?
Now my question... I think I am right in saying it's a SB55 does anyone agree/ dissagree with me on that? And finally I'm looking to get it collected so I need to know how much it weighs roughly the owner need 2.5 tonnes but I can't see it being that light as they look like a proper unit lol someone else said 4 tonnes which seems realistic.
If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it.
Cheers, Will

That will sit at around 3.5t to my mind.

In comparison a JCB 926 I think went 4100 kgs and could lift 2500 kegs, Sandersons were very similar in build.

I’d put the weight closer to five tonnes. Doubt it’ll be more.

I'd start with load security

i will say 4 ton +/- my son in law has 2 my old one plus one he purchased mine was manual with triplex mast and just frame ,his was duplex mast with cab torque converter i will say that one in picture is a sb55 on those tyres as the sb45 has smaller wheels and if i remember correct the sb45 did not have the extra top counterweight ,i wil see if he still has my old handbook with specs in ,some models had 3cyl or 4cyl ford skid units
