This is a Hyster S70EBCS, the “boxcar special” forklift.

The key visual feature is the “high stacked” counterweight in the rear end of the forklift 
which makes it very short wheelbase.  Also it is a 7000 lb forklift in a 5000 lb “frame” 
although all components are upgraded to handle additional load.  Propane powered, inline 
6 pushrod motor.

I bought this forklift locally for help in moving my machine shop.  I will likely add a 
longer set of forks…a forklift truly designed to be used in a boxcar would likely have 
very short forks to help shorten the turning radius and make it maneuverable in tight 
spaces.
