Someone is trying to sell me a Toyota forklift with 14,000 hours. It
does look much better than 14,000 hours and starts fine etc. Still, I
am concerned that it is a lot of hours. How good are those Toyotas and
is it asking for trouble to get a forklift with that many hours?

I adore my Toyota! The only problem I've had was a starter solenoid. I
traded my Clark, my Otis and some cash for it almost ten years ago. I
got it from my forklift repair company, he said that I won't be seeing
much of him any more and he was right.

Of the various brands of forklifts, the Toyotas seem to be the most
"no ****" type of forklifts. Just gets the job done with minimal
excitement.

Mine has the side-shift forks, I never would have believed how handy
that option is, I'd never again be without that!
