Hello,

I found that local United Rentals sell used Toyota dual fuel forklift(Pneumatic tire):8FGU25.
It is 7-8 years old, and it has very low miles, less than 3,000.
I'm going to use the forklift very lightly, like only 30 minutes a week or less often for both inside building and outside on dirt.

Can you let me know if dual fuel forklift is good?
I think they can be break down easier than single fuel forklift.

Also, Can you let me know if it is good idea buy forklift from United Rentals?
If the forklift is good condition, then I think they can keep renting couple years more.
I heard that they have United Guard Protection which is kind of warranty program.
Please let me know if it is good warranty program.
I know sometime dealers refuse warranty by using very fine prints.


By the way,
There is a propane store near my warehouse.
So I can drive my forklift to there to fuel.
They charge $3.34 per gallon.
Gas price is around $5 per gallon near my warehouse.
Can you let me know which is better option for me?

Also, if I fill up LPG tank, how many hours can I use?

Thank you.
