Discussion:
What Year?

Hi to all. I'm new here. I was given this old hyster forklift. For now I would like to know the year of this machine. S/N A10D13459 is the number on the chassis next to counter weight.

Look on the inside of the chassis "firewall", there should be a data plate on your left side. Hyster tech book states that it is either a S20A-S25A or a S30A. ALL hyster serial #'s end in a letter for year built.

Thanks Prentice! The plate is gone. I'm 99% sure it is a S25A. I've found some info off the internet on serial # and how to read it but that info shows S/N ending in a letter to determine the year and mine ends with a 9 go figure. (A10=S20A,S25A or S30A; D=Danville IL.; 13459=?????)

Hello Mark, Look for the capacity plate usually beside the driver seat or on the front dash. You need the Model and Serial #

Fact of the week
Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
