Unless you know the full history (via service records not verbal stuff) of this unit don't be fooled by the hourmeter reading you saw when you bought it. Hourmeters can be replaced easily, disconnected & later reconnected, replaced with one that has a lower reading, etc. I know a dealer in my town that replaces all hourmeters on every used reconditioned lift truck they sell. They tell the prospective customer it is easier for them to keep track of the usage in their application. This is a dealer that represents a major brand of lift trucks - but maybe they haven't learned to subtract yet.
Secondly, if someone says they never replaced brake shoes on a lift w/ 25,000 hours (equivlent to 750,00 to 1,000,000 on a car some say they a.) blowing smoke up your tail pipe - a forklift only has two brakes & weigh more than 99% of the autos on the road when running empty b.) they used transmission reversing to stop the lift & had the trans repaired, rebuild or replaced several times over & damaged a lot of product
