We've been running Crown and Raymond forklifts in our facility for years, and we bought these chargers new to keep our fleet running. Recently, we transitioned to a full-service forklift leasing program.
Our leasing company provides the chargers along with the forklifts - which means our existing chargers are now surplus. This unit charged our 24V Crown and Raymond forklifts daily for years. It did its job without drama. Bottom line: This is a first-owner sale from the company that actually used it. Not a broker, not a liquidation flip.
