best forklift for our company

Hi first time posting. our company is in the market for a forklift. got a few quotes from different companies. a doosan hyster toyota and a crown. we use the forklift to move vehicles around our lot of a hydraulic attachment like a stinger on the back of a tow truck on rough terrain. we currently have a mitsubishi that has worked wonderfuly since we bought it new in 2007. my question is what out of the 4 is the better?

I you like Mitsubishi then Consider Unicarrier. It is pretty much what you have now, changed names. Its the only manufacturer that does not have proprietary software. This means anyone can access truck settings to fix it. Most new lifts are impossible to access codes or adjustments. They make it expensive for breakdowns as you have to call dealer only. They make a rough terrain NOMAD for inside and outside, short body propane. Unicarrier have the lowest emissions of all lifts.

7-8k poundsthe doosan is a g35s modle the toyota is a 8fg35 the hyster is a h70ft and the crown is a cg35. i dont think our mitsubishi g35n at 7 k pounds was ment to be rough terrain either. by rough terrain i ment to say its still on ashphalt just bumpy. and in all weather.
You say you are on rough terrain. These are not rough terrain trucks. You also did not give a capacity. Application is everything when deciding on a truck.

Fact of the week
Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
