Champ 530-70 gas forklift

MM63 · Nov 17, 2020

I just recently purchaces an old champ forklift model 530-70 gas. She runs good but I would like to locate any manuals associated with this model. The only company I have seen that dealt with champs was Chamcor in California and they have closed. Any help or a point in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks

Did a little research Gehl bought out Champ in 1990. Hope this is helpful.

Welcome Matt!

Someone else on here has one he was working on, maybe he will chime in.

Thanks for the help. I thought I would pass a long what I found out. Gehl sold champ to Chamcor in California. They officially closed in 2013 but I found a good
number. Real nice lady answered but unfortunately they didn’t have any manuals for the older units. If anyone comes across one in the future please let me know.
Thanks again.

Chamcor was Champ. After they closed the factory, they sold parts for 3-4 years until they closed for good. Our Champ is much older than yours. Not sure where/how we got our manual. There isn't much in common. I'd look around California for shops that have been repairing forklifts for 40 years. Yours is a very good machine.

Thats a great idea! A quick search found 3 shops near where Chamcor was so i thought I would start there. She is a pretty cool machine.
