Since your message is a bit garbbled up it is hard to determine what models you are talking about. But I see one partial model number an ACC60DS. There should be a - PS or 2PS after that. But with teh info I have this is a solid tire (aka cushion tire), diesel forklift with a UL "DS" saftey rating. Without a s/n it is hard to determine the age but it is at least 25 years old maybe older - parts are hard to get now. Allis Chalmer fork lift went out of business in 85/86 time period.

If you are trying to determine the current value of this lift based on the original retail price - it is easy current value is zero (not much call for a cushion diesel powered lift anymore) but with the scrap metal price up now you might get $350-500 for it (before delivery cost & time to drain any fluids)

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
