In forklifts the serial number does not directly reflect date of manufacture, as a general rule. (some brands have some models that do).
We usually have to look it up in a serial number ID book, or to contact the manufacturer, but on all forklifts sold in the USA, since 2004, there is a sticker on th motor that will tll you the motor's month of manufacture (as long as it is the OEM motor, not a rebuild, still installed)

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
