Hi, Mr Mick:
Thank you for patience description. And i got the meaning.
About the series, juding from evolution,firstly,the handle pallet, and half electric pallet truck, electric stacker. We believe the designing becoming more and more perfect.

Take own products, i find that the products more and more perfect. Now we are assembling series models. It is more safty and logical.

Not the transmission, but also packing, both of these are the problem. It is relate the products. If packing and transmission are not so good, the products would be heart.

About the hot, i think everybody would being hot in the little space. If human in the little space working, we also feeling hot.

I hope our expression can help you.

And i introduce EP brand to you. EP had big marketing in north America. Not only for the best quality, but also for more than your expect.

Thanks for your reply.

Best Regards
Moon

They are not the cheapest on the market. We have been running 65 toyota's in our warehouse for 10 years and have very little down time. Mostly just tires and PM's. The only major failure I have had is a transmission and that was caused by pushing. After talking to the owner and telling him how much it cost we don't have that problem any more. I change trucks at a rate of 5 trucks per year running them to about 12000 hrs.The 7 series tend to get a little hot when in a confined space and no air movement. Hopes this helps.
