Bristol Rigger Special RS80 (1999) for sale!

This 1999 Bristol Rigger Special RS80 is a high-capacity rigging forklift designed for machinery moving, industrial equipment installation, plant relocation, and other demanding lifting applications.

This heavy-duty forklift provides a rated capacity of 80,000 pounds at a 24-inch load center. Its substantial lifting power makes it suitable for handling industrial presses, transformers, generators, machine tools, and other oversized equipment.

The two-stage mast provides a 102-inch maximum fork height with a 108-inch lowered height. Heavy-duty 96-inch forks give operators the length and support needed to handle large industrial loads.

A hydraulic boom and matching boom stand are included, expanding the forklift’s capabilities beyond standard fork handling. The boom allows rigging crews to perform overhead picks and position machinery in applications where lifting from underneath is not practical.

This Bristol RS80 forklift is powered by a Ford big-block engine with LP fuel. Solid pneumatic tires provide dependable performance without the puncture concerns associated with traditional air-filled tires.

Two removable 15,000-pound counterweights allow the machine to be configured for heavy lifting while helping simplify transportation and jobsite setup.

With approximately 1,890 operating hours, this 1999 Bristol Rigger Special RS80 is a low-hour option for companies requiring substantial lifting capacity. Full service is included to prepare the machine for its next application.
