Great Subject. First thing needed in my mind is a defined repair process for different levels of "reconditioned". Example: Level 1- XXXX hours or less on machine. All safety and operational needs addressed. Oil samples pulled on IC machines and results provided to customers. Counterweight slicked and OEM style paint and decals. Documented compression/ transmission pack pressures. 75 percent or more remaining on tire tread. Includes warranty. Level 2: Same as level one, except no transmission pack pressures or engine compression. Tires 50 percent or better. OEM paint and decals but not "automotive slick". Less warranty. Level 3: Same as level 2 without paint and less warranty. ALL RECONDITIONED FORKLIFTS START WITH LEAKS AND DEFICIENCIES NOTED. THEN DEGREASE AND PRESSURE WASH. TOP AND BOTTOM. (yes that means lifting machine in the air)
