Hello,
I have been searching used forklift for awhile.
And I found 2 forklift on market.

Both forklift are Pneumatic tire, 3 stages, side shift
1. Hyster H50XT - 2018 years 5300 hours from original owner
It looks like that it has been maintained good. I just heard that the lift still have 15 months warranty. Im not sure if warranty can be transferred. He said he purchased it from directly from Heister.
He is asking $16,000
2. Komatsu FG20T-16 - 2016 years 2800 hours from a reseller. They offer 3 months warranty
Asking $14,000

Can you let me know which forklift is better?
Among those 2 forklift, Is there a forklift which is known for faulty or problematic
forklift?

Also, please let me know if there is something that I must check before paying $$$.

Thank you.
