I am in need of a fork lift and know absolutely nothing about them. I have located a 5000 lbs capacity Komatsu at a forklift dealer locally that looks pretty sweet. It is a mid 80's model that has been refurbished cosmetically (new paint, new seat, etc.).
It started very fast, did not smoke and all of the hydralics seemed to function properly. It is a far sight better looking than the majority of the cheapo's that I have been looking at, but again I know nothing about forklifts.
What should I look for before I purchase? Oh and this forklift is only $2500.00.
