Hi all,
Considering a champ cb-50s forklift. Rated Capacity on it is 6000 lbs. Needing to know the empty weight so I can size a trailer for it if I buy it. Also, not finding much documentation online in the usual places. I see Gehl bought Champ in 1991, so any one with luck going to Gehl for info? Thanks
 
Should have a data tag visible on it somewhere that contains all of that information and more. Lots can happen to it over the years however, but you may get lucky and find it under some dirt, oil and grease.
 
According to a data tag I found on line for one, it?s rated 5000 pounds, and weighs approximately 11,000 pounds.

It?s own tag would have specifics for that machine, including Any attachments such as a side shifter. They all affected it?s capacity and weight.

The data should be on the dash area somewhere near the rest of the gauges, key switch, etc. most are usually riveted on.
 
I looked it over as best as I could, but not finding a data tag. I was expecting it on the left side of where the controls are, but only a Before Towing Champ tag. Did find a tag on the ROPS with the serial # and a rated capacity. Lift Truck: CCA9267 and Rated Capacity of 6000 . Also was able to find the cb-50s on the mast in small print. It has a 4 cylinder engine in it. oil and anti-freeze looked OK when I checked them.
 
Anyone know of a way to look up the year of this forklift by the serial number? I haven't tried calling Gehl yet, but just checking if there is a better way. Thanks
 
So tried GEHL, no luck. Came across an older post for Chamcor Parts Center. I called the number and left a message. Got a call back from Susan with Chamcor. I gave her my serial # and she mailed me the build sheet for my champ! Thank you very much Susan! :) She also mentioned they are winding down and would probably be closing the doors soon. As far as stock goes, she mentioned they still had some wheel cylinders, but not much. Very pleasant and nice person to talk to. If you have a Champ Forklift, and need info, I wouldn't wait to call.
