Sounds reasonable to me, depending on how much you use it. Or, you could
probably convert an old DC stick welder into an adequate power supply.
Since you won't be driving the fork lift, you won't need as much power as it
used originally.

I picked up a flyer yesterday from a company near me that makes sidewalk
'tiles' from old tires :
"Rubbersidewalks are high-density paving tiles made with recycled California
tire crumbed rubber combined with polyurethane binder and colorant, then
molded with heat under compression."
There are some links on their website to other uses for old tires.
