Help regarding year of make

Dear sirs, good day. I would like to ask about some help regarding the year(approximation is fine) of make of 4 machines(3 komatsu, 1 TCM) from the photos of the machines. Sorry for the hassle but this is important for me and I know that many of you guys are professionals in this business and it will not be so hard for you.

Thanks in advance

Hello Denov,
Komatsu FD40Z-5 sn;11021 '1991
Komatsu FD40T-11 sn;442335 if there's something wrong with the capacity FD30T-11 then it's '1993
Komatsu 30T-14 sn;562736 '2000
Kind regards

all forklifts made for sale in the USA will have a data plate as well as have the serial number stamped on the frame. Finding this frame stamping is the only accurate method to confirm the serial number as it compares to the data plate.

Since lift trucks go through major design changes about every 5 years or more it is difficult to "guesstimate" the year of manufacture. A model # & serial # is needed.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
