Looks like this is something that I posted a number of years ago. I have since purchased two more of these trucks because I like the visibility and maneuverability. Overall the trucks are great. However, there seems to be an inherent defect in the lift hose mechanism. I've lost track of the number of lift hoses that have worn through. Have gotten as little as 2 years on some of them. They are abrading through and blowing out. We keep spare hoses on hand as we've accepted them as a maintenance item. Keep in mind that I've had other forklifts where we replace hoses after 10 years as a practice, not a failure. Does anyone have any ideas how to rectify this?
