My main concern is if you need to unload double stake load out of a trailer. Most over the road trailers or containers have about 108" of inside height. If you have two 48" packages position on two 4" high pallets that only leaves 3" of clearance above the top load. If this unit has a 130" 2 stage mast with a fully lowered height of 83" and it has "0" free lift the most common 2 stage mast spec. The inner channel will be at 110" when the forks are raised to the middle of the pallet for the top load. That is the problem the top of the trailer is 2" too short plus you have to lift the load up 5-6" to remove it off the double high stack. This is called the "Sun Roof" effect.

In Georgia we offered a 90 day bumper to bumper parts & labor warranty on all of our reconditioned (not rebuilt) units regardless of hours including 8000 -10,000 hrs. Most 5 year old units would have 5000-6000 hours.

If the unit had "real" low hours & we did the PM's on the unit we would go as high as 6 mos. Unless the unit was used in pickle foundry or fish cannery.
