Thanks for the info. Thankfully, the data plate is intact and legible. Capacity, load center, lift height, degrees of tilt forward and reverse, and 24V. Oddly enough, the compartment looks like it would have taken a 24 volt industrial battery however this truck has 4 6 volt car like batteries, and instead of an internal charger as most trucks have with these batteries, this one has an external charger, the egg timer type, and very similar cables to those of the industrial battery type truck. I was questioning as to whether they replaced the batter ies with these, and they said no, and upon further examination of the battery compartment, there is a welded shelve to house two of the four batteries in the center, and a plate to support the two on the bottom. There are also cross beams at the top that wouldn't allow for a standard industrial battery, making me believe that both types of batteries were offered, and if you chose the 4 6v, these pieces were then welded in to prevent the use of an industrial battery.

I am starting to see them all now, as a trainer. lol
