John,

When spending $5,000.00 dollars on a used forklift make sure you budget for some major repairs.

The Hyster units will have rolled over the hour meters, and although they may be in excellent condition, this may only mean exterior paint, tires and seat.

What lies below a low budget forklift is hidden internally.

I would suggest looking for a newer truck with lowere hours and if budget is concern, look at lease.

This can help conserve capital and provide a good working truck that is Safety Certifed and may last many more years without the cost of older units.

Feel free to contact me at 905-706-3248 if you are interested in newer trucks.
