Discussion:
Determining age and condition of Crown

Hi
Does anybody know how to determine the age of a Crown based on its model or serial number? I didn't find it on the Crown website. I'm looking at a 30RCTT-190 #1A124725.

Any advice how to tell what a used truck is worth? It seems like a lot of the value is in the quality of the batteries, any way to test those?

What's a set of batteries cost for a lift anyway (roughly)?

Thanks!
Cindi

Thanks! How does one check out the battery? (The seller is a forklift repair shop in town, but they didn't seem to know how to test the battery. )

It is a 1992 machine. If you are looking at buying it you may want to have the battery checked out. A replacement battery is probably in the area of $3500 to $4000.
