When we moved to Maine last year, I borrowed a forklift from a guy in
town--no charge!

It turned out to have a serious leak in the mast hydraulics; I had to
keep goosing the up lever while moving across the driveway between the
moving truck and the barn. Really difficult. The next time I got one
with a driver, worth every penny.
