Where did you get the information you listed?

In your picture the unit looks like a GLP030 w/ a D-5 Mazda engine.

To identify a grey market lift- look for a U-L plaque riveted to the front of the cowl (dash). Also- check the data plate to see if the information is in English. These 2 items will identify a unit as being either for American or European use.

If you find the unit is in fact a grey market you'll have an issue if anyone ever gets hurt on it & turns in a workman's comp claim. I've had this happen to 2 of my clients over the years. (Both comp claims were for nothing serious - a sprained ankle & operator error causing another employee to trip over the forks). In both circumstances, OSHA came in to check the forklift because it was involved in a claim- & both times the company got a pretty big fine & had to remove the forklift from the property immediately to halt any further litigation.
