Looks like it would be ok off the concrete? It’s really for the yard, have Manitou telehandler as well.

How much to recondition her 3 cylinder David Brown engine to stop it smoking then?

Don't think you could stop it smoking, if it starts handy leave well alone

I have sold quite a few Used Ausa but like everything else now very short and pricey.
If your happy with 2 wd and 1.50 tons capacity that model is very compact and higher ground clearance than an industrial forklift, and copes with rough ground better.
Models from 2 - 3 ton are physically bigger but still very compact - they are all Hydrostatic but generally not suitable for Heavy Abuse Applications.

Got a 14000 hours Linde H30D year 2012 to look at. Anything in particular I need to look out for please?

Linde.
I have driven forklifts a fair bit and found the only people who prefer toyota are the ones who haven't tried a Linde in anger.

Loved our 3t linde. Ran like a dream, so quick. Didn’t survive having the hyd tank topped up with liquid Boron though

You you will need a good Linde dealer or repair man with a good knowledge of Linde Electronics - the trade either love them or hate them - I often see enquires stating NO German Machines - meaning Stihl, Linde etc - everybody wants Toyota though - best of luck!

I worked with a h35d for 5 years from new, must've been about 2012 ish aswell. Had very few problems, the rollers in the forkcarriage breaking and jamming the whole thing up so it wouldn't fully lower, but that is kind of a maintainence thing really though obviously horribly inconvinient. The joysticks where dissapointing quality, at 3500 hours or so I was on my third left joystick, no problems with the right one as you use it less. And the double hydraulic automatically retracting hoses that go from the inside of the forklift to the carraige don't like dirt. They are not a quick or cheap job to replace. If you need sideshift get linde's own integrated sideshift, the hook-on Cascade brand is less powerfull, takes up more space and much more prone to play.
I think the linde's of that generation are the best, the newer evo ones are slower (the one I worked with anyway).
I have to say, if alot of people need to jump on it and go you might not want to buy a Linde.
