Hello.
I have a few questions about the above mentioned machine. I am in the process of opening up a small freight forwarding company in New York.
We require a forklift to load/unload trucks. The truck will be used 5 days a week no more then 30-45 mins daily (probably less) The truck will mostly be used insde (very rarely go outside). One of the local delaers here offered me a deal on the 2005 Hyster S50 Xm, Serial#D187V32563B, I dont know a lot about trucks but will try my best to desribe it. It has a double mast. Capable of lifting up to 5k L bs. It is a propane unit. The dealer told me that it only has 731 hours and that the odometer on these things is full proof and can not be temepered with or rolled back, He is also offering me a full 90 day warranty covering everything. I got him down to $5000 delivered (it is less then 15 miles to deliver it). I am looking on Ebay and such low hour machines are going for way more then that. I am going back to inspect it tomorrow and would really appreciate some advice on what to look for during my inspection. I will appreciate any kind of help. Over the last few days i have seen a few of these machines and i am sad to report that i am getting more and more confused the more of the i see.
Thanks again.
