Buy a recondition used forklift from a local full service dealer that can provide timely service parts rental support. Personally would suggest a brand that has their roots in the US. Be leery of a used recondition battery - some will work just fine others not so much. Have had good luck with used batteries that were recondition by a reputable battery service company that load tested them and replaced defect cells and offered a warranty. Plus the charger needs to be correctly sized to match the the battery's capacity.
Any offshore brands are subject to delays in parts support to keep you up and running.
