Small Forklift Questions

[Lsr]

I’m looking to buy a small forklift for my shop. I’ll be looking for something cheap and likely old and in the 3000 to 4000lb range.

Any tips on brands where parts are still available for older machines? I’d also like to stay away from brands where they price service parts like they were made of gold.

The older Nissan FO2 models were like little tanks, same for the Komatsu's with the H20 & H20/2 engines 2005 and older.

I have a 1978 clark c500-30. I can still get parts no problem.

Some of the older Toyotas (1980s) used the same engines as the Corolla of the day, making parts for that part a little more universal. No idea on the hydraulics tho.
