It's not really "auditable" in that you can't find a non-conformance. You can't force a company to upgrade their infrastructure. We went for year with inadequate infrastructure. If I don't have a forklift, I don't have a forklift. What can you do?

Was there a plan to get their's repaired or get a new one eventually? Was there an agreement in an e-mail with the neighbor to use theirs? Were actions taken to ascertain the vacation days of the neighbor?
If the standard says you "shall", there can be an NC.
Forklift issue: If the loader went to go use it, it seemingly is a required resources.
Risk and opportunities means you address these risks, and mitigate as possible.
If it can impact product, i.e. that forklift issues means you can't ship, and you are about to miss a contractual deadline, that could be defined as a major non-conformance by a tenacious assessor.
Why not take actions and start an internal CAR for issues with a plan that very well may take years to address completely (buy a new forklift)? If you "can't" have a corrective action going that long, it's probably because of a procedure, and not the standard. Log it and update the issue every management review.
-Make the system effective. Based on context. If infrastructure is needed, provide\maintain\plan\think about it! (You do, just be ready to show objective evidence.)
-If it was a bad finding during the assessment, appeal to the registrar.
